A method for concise, faithful approximation of complex 3D datasets is key to reducing the
computational cost of graphics applications. Despite numerous applications ranging from …

In spite of the widespread use of CAD systems for design and CAE systems for analysis, the
two processes are not well integrated because CAD and CAE models inherently use …

In this work a new method for CAD model simplification is presented. The method is
especially suited for simplifications performed in preparation for meshing the models. It uses …

Mesh parameterization is a fundamental problem in computer graphics as it allows for
texture mapping and facilitates many mesh processing tasks. Although there exists a variety …

A methodology for abstracting features from a 3D solid model based on a new detail-level
metric method is proposed. Filleting the whole boundary of an object with constant fillet …

We present a robust and efficient approach to directly slicing implicit solids. Different from
prior slicing techniques that reconstruct contours on the slicing plane by tracing the topology …

CAD technology plays an ever more central role in today's multidisciplinary simulation
environments. While this has enabled highly complex and detailed models to be used …

We present a hybrid rendering technique for highfeature colored point clouds that achieves
both, high performance and high quality. Planar subsets in the point cloud are identified to …

Being able to automatically mesh composite geometry is an important issue in the context of
CAD–FEA integration. In some specific contexts of this integration, such as using virtual …

ABSTRACT CAD model repair is often a necessary precursor to mesh generation, due
primarily to the inconsistencies between the tolerances used by the designer and the …
