Evaluation Of Surfaces For Automobile Body Styling

In the process of car body design, various surfaces can be generated,from the given boundary curves. Depending tqon the method qf the surface generation and the qualip qf the boundary curves provided, the resulting surfaces may have global 07” local irregularities in many cases. Thus it would be necessarvfor the designer to evaluate the surface quality and to rnodifi the surface or to use the d...
