Abstract: A typical computer representation of a design includes geometric and physical information organized in a suitable combinatorial data structure. Queries and transformations of these design representations ...

Abstract: , and Vadim Shapiro of University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. Close to eighty papers were received and reviewed for the conference by an international program committee and reviewers from around the world. At least three external...

Abstract: One of the fundamental unsolved problems in geometric design of mechanical solids has been the lack of a proper notion of family or class. Numerous heuristic and often incompatible definitions ...

Abstract: Geometric data interoperability is critical in industrial applications where geometric data are transferred (translated) among multiple modeling systems for data sharing and reuse. A big obstacle ...

Abstract: Moving parts in contact have been traditionally synthesized through specialized techniques that focus on completely specified nominal shapes. Given that the functionality does not completely constrain ...

Abstract: Mechanical parts are modeled as (predominantly rigid) solid shapes that may move in space in order to function, be manufactured (for example, machine or be machined), and be assembled or ...

Abstract: The long-standing goal of computer aided design (CAD)/computer aided engineering (CAE) integration demands seamless interfaces between geometric design and engineering analysis/simulation tasks. The ...

Abstract: We describe a graphics processing unit (GPU)-based computational platform for six-dimensional configuration mapping, which is the description of the configuration space of rigid motions in terms ...
