Objectives
Understand the various requirements for the information that is
generated during the geometric modeling stage.
Study various types of geometric models possible and their
applications
Develop various methodologies used for geometric construction
such as sweep, surface models, solid models, etc.
Recognize the various types of surfaces and their application as
used in geometric modelling
Appreciate the concept of parametric modeling which is the
current mainstay of most of the 3D modeling systems
Develop the various mathematical representations of the curves
used in the geometric construction
Discuss the various CAD system requirements that need to be
considered while selecting a system for a given application
Understand the concept of rapid prototyping and the various
methods available for the purpose.

Functions of Geometric
Modelling
• Design analysis:
– Evaluation of areas and volumes.
– Evaluation of mass and inertia properties.
– Interference checking in assemblies.
– Analysis of tolerance build-up in assemblies.
– Analysis of kinematics — mechanics, robotics.
– Automatic mesh generation for finite element
analysis.
