  2. Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_solid_geometry

    Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine simpler objects, [1] potentially generating visually complex objects by combining a few primitive ones. [2] [3] In 3D computer graphics and CAD, CSG is often used in procedural modeling.

  3. SolidWorks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks

    SolidWorks allows the user to specify that the hole is a feature on the top surface, and will then honor their design intent no matter what height they later assign to the can. [27] Features refer to the building blocks of the part. They are the shapes and operations that construct the part.

  4. Boundary representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_representation

    The boundaries are defined by lines, conics, polylines, surface curves, or b spline curves; ISO 10303-514 Advanced boundary representation, a solid defining a volume with possible voids that is composed by advanced faces; ISO 10303-509 Manifold surface, a non intersecting area in 3D that is composed by advanced faces

  5. Freeform surface modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeform_surface_modelling

    Freeform surface modelling is a technique for engineering freeform surfaces with a CAD or CAID system.. The technology has encompassed two main fields. Either creating aesthetic surfaces (class A surfaces) that also perform a function; for example, car bodies and consumer product outer forms, or technical surfaces for components such as gas turbine blades and other fluid dynamic engineering ...

  6. Block-stacking problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-stacking_problem

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

  7. Surface engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_engineering

    Surface engineering is the sub-discipline of materials science which deals with the surface of solid matter. It has applications to chemistry , mechanical engineering , and electrical engineering (particularly in relation to semiconductor manufacturing ).

  8. Parasolid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasolid

    Parasolid is a geometric modeling kernel originally developed by Shape Data Limited, now owned and developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software.It can be licensed by other companies for use in their 3D computer graphics software products.

  9. Procedural surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_surface

    In computer graphics, a procedural surface is a representation of a surface as a mathematical implicit equation, rather than an explicit representation. [1] An explicit representation, for example, describes a line as the straight segment going through two given points. A procedural surface is one which is defined as a procedure.
