Shelling Algorithm in Solid Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shelling is a powerful modeling operation in current CAD /CAM systems. In this paper, we present a new shelling algorithm for regular B-Rep solids. We first generate an initial offset solid, then correct the self-intersecting offset solid if necessary. We obtain the resultant shelling solid through a regularized Boolean operation finally. The algorithm has been implemented in a solid modeling system, and some examples are given to illustrate it.

Offsetting operations on non-manifold topological models
This paper describes non-manifold offsetting operations that add or remove a uniform thickness from a given non-manifold topological model. The mathematical definitions and properties of the non-manifold offsetting operations are investigated first, and then an offset algorithm based on the definitions is proposed and implemented using the non-manifold Euler operators proposed in this paper. In...
متن کاملOn the shelling antimatroids of split graphs
Chordal graph shelling antimatroids have received little attention with regard to their combinatorial properties and related optimization problems, as compared to the case of poset shelling antimatroids. Here we consider a special case of these antimatroids, namely the split graph shelling antimatroids. We show that the feasible sets of such an antimatroid relate to some poset shelling antimatr...
متن کاملShelling Hexahedral Complexes for Mesh Generation
We present a new approach for the generation of hexahedral finite element meshes for solid bodies in computer-aided design. The key idea is to use a purely combinatorial method, namely a shelling process, to decompose a topological ball with a prescribed surface mesh into combinatorial cubes, so-called hexahedra. The shelling corresponds to a series of graph transformations on the surface mesh ...
متن کاملExtensions: Extrapolation Methods for CAD
Many operations within a solid modeling application, notably applying thickness (shelling) or blending edges ( lleting), encounter di culties during topology resolution. In order to create a solid object, certain faces have to be intersected but the geometry is such that no intersection curve can be computed. The solution is to "extend" one or both faces. This means that one has to extrapolate ...
