Calculation of area
Calculation of volume
Calculation of mass
In FEA, the developed model is converted into finite element mesh and the all the
required data are calculated for analysis.
Animation facility
M.MANIMARAN is also used to see the assembly of the model

7. Connectivity Features
Regenerate regenerates the entire drawing from the current view port.

2. Surface modelling
3. Solid modelling
2. Rules surface
This is a linear surface
A surface is interpolated b/w two
guiding curves “rails”

3. Surface of revolution
4. Translated surface
Generated by extruding a 2D entity along the specified direction.
6. B-Spline surface
Generated from the basis B-spline curve
Another synthetic surface and local

8. Fillet surface
It is obtained by blending two
surfaces with a fillet radius
M.MANIMARAN KRCE TRICHY 6/25/2015
Application of surface modelling
It can used sheet metal works and thin moulded plastic parts
Body panels of passenger cars
Structural components of aircraft and marine structure
Plastic container, telephones, impellers of pumps and turbine,
glass marking
Demerits
It require more computational time compared with wire frame
Mass properties (weight, volume and Moment Inertia) cannot be
derived from surface models
More skill is required for surface modelling
M.MANIMARAN KRCE TRICHY 6/25/2015
SOLID MODELLING
Solid modeling is based on complete, valid and unambiguous
geometric representation of physical object.
Complete points in space can be classified.(inside/ outside)
Valid vertices, edges, faces are connected properly.
Unambiguous there can only be one interpretation of object
Object = (A∩B)-(CU(DUE)
Disadvantages of CSG
More computational effort and time are required whenever
the model is to be displayed on the screen
Getting fillet chamfer and taperness in the model is very
difficult
M.MANIMARAN KRCE TRICHY 6/25/2015
Boundary Representation (B-rep)
The solid model created by using B-rep technique may be stored in the
graph based on data structure system
Vertices are connected to form edges and these edges are connected
together to form the face which makes the complete solid
B-rep Vs CSG
For bodies with holes and re-entrant face, should satisfy Euler
Poincare formula
V – E + F – H + 2P = 2B
H – No. of holes
P – No. of passages
B – No. of separate bodies
Disadvantages of B-rep
The data to be stored is more and it requires more memory
complex curve and surfaces only approximated
