dc.description.abstract | The Geometric workbench (GWB), an experimental. geometric modeling system, is described. It is based on a hybrid representation scheme, where solids are represented by CSG volume trees and boundary representations. Boundary representations are described with so called Euler operators. The operators used in GWB guarantee topological and a wide class of geometric validity constraints for the solid. upon Euler operators, sweep operators and parametrized shapes have been implemented. Representations may be stored into a data base in a procedural format. Based on the model, line figures may be drawn and volume properties of the solids may be calculated. GWB is based on a general infrastructure (workbench) approach of system construction. The beneficiance of this approach is demonstrated. | en_US |
