Abstract

The geometric modeling of free-form curves and surfaces is of a central importance for sophisticated CAD systems. Apart from the pure construction of these curves and surfaces, the analysis of their quality is equally important in the design process. In the scope of this article, we will discuss various visualization techniques, which have the goal of identifying unwanted curvature regions (inflection points, dents, ...) interactively on screen.
