Geant4 offers constructive solid geometry (CSG) for modeling detector geometries, but representing intricate computer-aided design (CAD) structures can be cumbersome. This article presents a novel ...

Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create ...

The MSRE was a research molten salt reactor (MSR) that was operated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory between 1965 and 1969. The reactor operated by introducing fuel salt through a tangentially ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

When we reviewed Vellum Solids 99, we praised its solids-modeling features but found fault with what appeared to be rough edges in the code development. Since that time, Ashlar has polished the ...

A mathematical technique for representing solid-appearing objects. Surface modeling is a more complex method for representing objects than wireframe modeling, but not as sophisticated as solid ...
