3D geometric model for shape design (2nd report) -3D geometric model focused on shape feature generating rules-

摘要

Designing shapes of products is one of the most primary activity in design process. In this paper, a new methodology of representing free form shape features with the aim of making the system capable of holding and manipulating their features after synthesizing them to support designer in their early design stage is proposed. The key idea in this study is Shape Feature Generating Rules and specifying the rules which generate feature shapes. Developmental biology is applied to devise a computational model of the representation called Cell Model using Pitt approach of classifier system.
