An introduction to solid modelling

Abstract After some preliminary definitions, we begin by describing some schemes used for representing geometry in state-of-the-art solid modeling systems. Next, we describe some of the construction and editing techniques which might be used to create geometry in such a system. Finally, we discuss the feasibility of some applications in various areas of engineering analysis and NC manufacturing.
