| Description | Solid modelling is developed as a means of representing the shapes of components used in the less specialized mechanical engineering industries. Solids can now be modelled with free form surfaces. In some cases parametric geometry is used exclusively, while in others here is mixed use of parametric and implicit geometry. A method is suggested and discussed for free form solids modelling. The method has several advantages, one of which is that it avoids the use of detached surfaces, Boolean operations and surface intersection computations. It involves only minor topological changes to the model and is therefore computationally efficient. |
