A study on solid modelling with surface trimming method

Abstract

This paper proposes a Surface Trimming Method based on the intersection curves between free‐form surfaces so that a complex solid model with several primitive surfaces can be constructed. These solid models will not only be used by the mechanical engineering industry to design and analyze conventional mechanical parts, but will also be used by the civil engineers to design and analyze structures of irregular shape. The scope of solid modelling application is thus enhanced.

Key words:

• surface trimming method
• solid modelling
