Abstract

An algorithm for performing regularized Boolean operation on polyhedral solids is described. Robustness is achieved by adding symbolic reasoning as a supplemental step to resolve possible numerical uncertainty. Additionally, numerical redundancy and numerical computation based on derived quantities are reduced as much as possible. Experience with an implementation of the algorithm, using a unit-cube example as a simple test object for robustness, is discussed.
