Geometric modeling and the physical validity of shapes are traditionally considered independently. This makes creating aesthetically pleasing yet physically valid models challengi...
This paper gives an overview of some recent methods useful for local and global shape analysis and for the design of solids. These methods include as new tools for global and loca...
Solid modeling based on partial differential equations (PDEs) can potentially unify both geometric constraints and functional requirements within a single design framework to mode...
This paper presents a flexible, scalable framework for interactive hands-on shape design in a haptic, stereoscopic virtual environment. The framework is founded upon the concept ...
Deformation of 3D shapes usually requires the use of a deformation tool. The freeform deformation technique requires the use of a lattice of control point for deforming an object....
