Bounded Blending Operations

چکیده
New analytical formulations of bounded blending for functionally defined set-theoretic operations are proposed. The blending set operations are defined using R-functions and displacement functions with the localized area of influence. The shape and location of the blend is defined by control points on the surfaces of two solids or by an additional bounding solid. The proposed blending using a bounding solid can be applied to a single selected edge or a vertex. We introduce new types of blends such as a multiple blend with the disconnected bounding solid and a partial edge blend. It is shown to have versatile applications in interactive design.

Ternary blending operations
We discuss new analytical formulations for localized and controllable blending operations in the functionbased solid modeling. The blending set operations are defined using R-functions and displacement functions with the localized area of influence. The shape and location of the blend are controlled by an additional bounding solid thus turning the operation into a ternary one. We also describe ...
متن کاملBlending Implicit Shapes Using Fuzzy Set Operations
Implicit modelling is a powerful technique to design geometric shapes, where a geometric object is described by a real function. In general, the real functions used in implicit modelling are unbounded and can take any values in space R. In general, the shapes described by different level sets of an unbounded implicit function can be varied significantly and are very unpredictable. In addition, ...

Shape transformation between objects of different topology and positions in space is an open modeling problem. We propose a new approach to solving this problem for two given 2D or 3D shapes. The key steps of the proposed algorithm are: increase dimension by converting two input kD shapes into half-cylinders in (k+1)D space-time, applying bounded blending with added material to the half-cylinde...

متن کاملA Cooperative Multi-agent System for Plan Generation in Batch manufacturing
This paper proposes an approach to generate blending plans using a cooperative multi-agent system. First, a model for the blending problem in batch manufacturing is developed based on operations research principles, which takes into consideration of factors involved in blending plan generation. Second, the architecture of the system is introduced. We describe the structures of control agent and...
