About this title

Synopsis:

The Blaubeuren Conference "Theory and Practice of Geometric Modeling" has become a meeting place for leading experts from industrial and academic research institutions, CAD system developers and experienced users to exchange new ideas and to discuss new concepts and future directions in geometric modeling. The relaxed and calm atmosphere of the Heinrich-Fabri-Institute in Blaubeuren provides the appropriate environment for profound and engaged discussions that are not equally possible on other occasions. Real problems from current industrial projects as well as theoretical issues are addressed on a high scientific level. This book is the result of the lectures and discussions during the conference which took place from October 14th to 18th, 1996. The contents is structured in 4 parts: Mathematical Tools Representations Systems Automated Assembly. The editors express their sincere appreciation to the contributing authors, and to the members of the program committee for their cooperation, the careful reviewing and their active participation that made the conference and this book a success.

Synopsis:

The state of the art of geometric modeling is described and discussed in this volume, based on the international conference held in Blaubeuren, Germany, in October 1996. The contributions cover the most relevant topics in the field at an advanced level and are authored by leading experts from universities, CAD system vendors, and users of geometric modelers. The book is organized into parts dealing with: mathematical tools for geometric modeling, including variational design, particle systems, and interpolation and approximation methods; representations in solid modeling and conversion problems; requirements to be met by a modeler for the automotive industry; and applications like automated assembly. The readability and clarity of the text is supported by fine illustrations.
