COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND INTERFACES / GRAPHICS SYSTEMS JGB / AAS Solid Modelling In one set of 2D line segments or curves do not necessarily form a closed area. In a collection of 3D surfaces does not necessarily involve a closed volume. Solid modeling: In some applications it is important to: distinguish between the interior and exterior surface of a 3D object; and compute properties of objects that depend on this distinction. Ex: Simulation of mechanisms, volume calculation, center of mass, application of finite to determine response to factors such as stress and temperature, etc. elements. Applications: CAD / CAM and imaging photo-realistic.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND INTERFACES / GRAPHICS SYSTEMS JGB / AAS Characteristics of a solid model 1.Should cover a domain representation broad enough to incorporate all kinds of objects we want to model. 2.The representation must be unambiguous and only: A given representation must correspond to a single solid; and each object must have only one possible representation. The only representation allows us to compare two objects to determine equality. 3. Need / Correct: accurate modeling allows to represent the object without approximations. Systems that only accept representation by line segments approximate curved surfaces. 4.Impossibility of creating invalid objects, I.e. that do not correspond to a solid. 5.Representation closed: The representation must remain valid after the application of geometric transformations. For example, if there are duplicates of vertices by applying geometric transformations we can obtain different values ​​ for the same point 6.Representation compact to optimize the use of memory.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND INTERFACES / GRAPHICS SYSTEMS JGB / AAS Characteristics of a solid model Example of invalid objects as solid. - The representation of a) does not clearly identify the faces of the cube, only indicates edges. - We can consider a sequence of 4 segments form a face? But solid b) would be wrong to consider solid. In general representations used do not have all the features presented, the model being chosen according to the characteristics of the object model.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND INTERFACES / GRAPHICS SYSTEMS JGB / AAS Representation by Instantiating Primitives The modeling system has pre-defined a set of useful 3D solid modeling to the desired. The user can control the shape of the object defining the parameters that characterize it. It provides for the combination of objects as by Boolean operations. Applied to complex parts.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND INTERFACES / GRAPHICS SYSTEMS JGB / AAS Representation by Scanning The displacement of an object according to a trajectory defines another object : –Translation (Extrusion) –Rotation Ex: The translation a 2D rectangle along a perpendicular to the plane of that object creates a parallelepiped. A simple extension is to vary the size of the 2D object along the path.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND INTERFACES / GRAPHICS SYSTEMS JGB / AAS Representation by Scanning The combination of Boolean operations objects created by scanning allows you to find other objects that would not be possible for scanning. Using this method without path constraints can result in inefficient modeling of the object. Ex: If the object intersects itself complicates the calculation of volume. Can not generate a valid solid if the motion is in the plane containing the 2D shape. In general applications convert objects created by scanning for other representations of objects.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND INTERFACES / GRAPHICS SYSTEMS JGB / AAS By Boundary Representation (B-rep) The solids are described by its boundary surface. Uses the description by vertices, edges and faces. The most common representation is the boundary polygons per plans. Will be considered only with solid border 2-manifoldsIe the neighbors of any point of the border point are on a disk (that is to say that each edge is shared by two faces) (A) and (b) are 2-manifold(C) is not 2-manifold
