Advanced Geometric Modeler with Hybrid Representation

An advanced geometric modeler GEMS4.0 has been developed, in whichfeature representation is used at the highest level abstraction of a productmodel. Boundary representation is used at the bottom level, while CSG modelis adopted at the median level. A BRep data structure capable of modelingnon-manifold is adopted. NURBS representation is used for all curved surfaces.Quadric surfaces have dual representations consisting of their geometric datasuch as radius, center point, and center tals. Boundary representat…
