Chain-Based Representations for Solid and Physical Modeling

Solid and Physical Modeling

Solid and Physical Modeling 2014

The Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) is an annual international forum for the exchange of recent research results on the mathematical and computational issues that arise in generating, analyzing, and processing geometric information in applications such as mechanical design, process planning, manufacturing, medicine, games, animation, geology, and virtual reality. The scope of act...

Foreword to Solid and Physical Modeling 2017

The 2017 Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM 2017) was held in Berkeley, California from Monday, June 19 to Wednesday, June 21, 2017. Since its inception in 1991, the Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling has been the primary international forum for disseminating research results and exchanging new ideas of applications complete with the relevant mathematical theory of solid modeli...

Chained segment offsetting for ray-based solid representations

We present a novel approach to offset solids in the context of fabrication. Our input solids can be given under any representation: boundary meshes, voxels, indicator functions or CSG expressions. The result is a ray-based representation of the offset solid directly used for visualization and fabrication: We never need to recover a boundary mesh in our context. We define the offset solid as a s...

Conceptual Agent based Modeling in Supply Chain: An Economic Perspective

Abstract: The implementation of government legislation, social responsibility, environmental concerns regarding the reduction of waste, hazardous material and other consumer residuals have made the competition between the firms stricter than ever and nowadays firms that want to survive need a more productive and innovative approach toward the financial aspects of their businesses.his pape...
