Abstract
The development of solid modeling has been motivated primarily by its potential for supporting automated applications. Analytic applications have been addressed successfully, and algorithms are available for visualization, mass property calculation, static interference analysis, kinematic simulation of mechanisms, and simulation of manufacturing processes such as machining. Work on automatic meshing for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), simulation of semiconductor fabrication operations, and electronic packaging is progressing nicely.
