...Robert Scott Pierce; David Rosen In this research, we describe a computer-aided approach to geometric tolerance analysis for assemblies and mechanisms. A series of as-manufactured component models are generated within a NURBS-based solid modeling environment. These models reflect errors...

... modelling boundary-value problems Boolean functions Solid modeling techniques used by contemporary computer aided design (CAD) software evolved in the early 1970s ( 1 2 3 ). There are two popular approaches for solid modeling. One approach, known as constructive...

... were carried out using solid models of gears with the aid of a generation code based on the theory of envelope generation. Theoretical points were interpolated to generate surfaces for the models. FEM models of gear sectors were developed, and meshing simulations were done with the aid of an augmented...

...Keisuke Inoue; Kenji Shimada; Karthick Chilaka This paper describes a robust and versatile method based on graph embedding for reconstructing a solid model from a wireframe model. The robustness and versatility of the conventional methods are limited in that: (1) most of them are heuristic and thus...

...Bernhard Bettig, Assistant Professor,; Jami Shah, Professor, The development of solid modeling to represent the geometry of designed parts and the development of parametric modeling to control the size and shape have had significant impacts on the efficiency and speed of the design process...
