Deitz Paul H. Solid modeling at the US Army ballistic research laboratory

Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland: US Army Ballistic Research Laboratory, 1984. – 32 p.In this report, the requirement to accomplish solids modeling at the Ballistic Research Laboratory is examined. The historic need for solids file generation is discussed, and the present technique called COMGEOM is described. We discuss an interactive editor (GED) which has recently been brought on line. Finally, some requirements of an advanced modeler in the CAD/CAM arena are proposed.List of illustrationsBackground
