Automatic surface generation in computer aided design. (English) Zbl 0617.68088
A technique for smoothly blending algebraic surfaces and a language for syntactic specification of objects are developed. Their use in automated design is illustrated by a gate valve example in which all fillets, edge roundings and joining surfaces are automatically constructed. The resulting object has an internal representation that is particularly amenable to interactive editing.
