چکیده
The current paper presents a pseudo-sweep algorithm to determine whether a given volume constitutes an approximately swept shape for the purpose of hexahedral finite element mesh generation. The pseudo-swept shape determination approach consists of three steps. Step 1: Determining the source surface, target surface, and lateral surface of a given solid object B. Two requirements: topological and geometric requirements, are used to determine these three surfaces. Step 2: Creating a submappable lateral surface. A submappable surface is one that allows the sweeping of a two dimensional quadrilateral mesh from the source surface to target surface. Step 3: Modifying the topology of the source surface. If the topologies of the source and target surfaces are different, an approach called Topology Mapping is applied. The Topology Mapping approach maps the target surface to the source surface so that sweeping of quadrilateral mesh from the source surface to the target surface is possible. Once the above three steps are applied, a hexahedral mesh is generated by sweeping a quadrilateral mesh from the source surface, along the lateral surface, to the target surface. q 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

We are dealing with the problem of space layout planning here. We present an architectural conceptual CAD approach. Starting with design specifications in terms of constraints over spaces, a specific enumeration heuristics leads to a complete set of consistent conceptual design solutions named topological solutions. These topological solutions which do not presume any precise definitive dimensi...

Presented in the paper is an efficient pair-wise offset algorithm for closed 2D point-sequence curves (PS-curve). A key feature of the proposed algorithm is that all local invalid loops are removed from the input PS-curve before constructing a raw offset-curve, by invoking a pair-wise interference-detection (PWID) test. In the PWID test, each pair of elementary offset segments is tested for int...

Spatial discretization of the domain and/or boundary conditions prevents application of many numerical techniques to physical problems with time-varying geometry and boundary conditions. By contrast, the R-functions method (RFM) for solving boundary and initial value problems discretizes not the domain but the underlying functional space, while the prescribed boundary conditions are satisfied e...
