associativity

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.03 sec.
(programming)associativity - The property of an operator that says whether a sequence of three or more expressions combined by the operator will be evaluated from left to right (left associative) or right to left (right associative). For example, in Perl, the lazy and operator && is left associative so in the expression:

$i >= 0 && $x[$i] >= 0 && $y[$x[$i]] == 0

the left-most && is evaluated first, whereas = is right associative, so in

$a = $b = 42

the right-most assignment is performed first.

There is no data translation between these applications, design and information associativity is maintained across applications, and the user interface is consistent and similar throughout.
Once the sketch is complete, the resulting wire-frame data uses its associativity to interrogate the underlying surface data when creating run-off and draft surfaces, etc.
The software's associativity means engineers can simply adjust one component of the design, and SolidWorks will automatically adjust the rest of the design accordingly to eliminate errors.
