COMPUTER AIDED MODELING

摘要

In order to visualize or calculate a volume or an area of a structure modeled by using object types that overlap, topological items of boundary representations of the objects are provided with information on whether a topological item is indicated as clipped or not clipped; and topological items indicated as not clipped are used and topological items indicated as clipped are ignored when a model for the structure is visualized or used for volume or area calculations.

主权项

1. A computerized method comprising:
providing, by a computer application, topological items of boundary representations of objects modeling a structure with information on whether a topological item is indicated as clipped or not clipped; and using, by the computer application, topological items indicated as not clipped and ignoring topological items indicated as clipped when a model for the structure is visualized or used for volume or area calculations without merging the topological items.
