Geometric Modeling in MATLAB

This document outlines the objectives of a unit on Geometric Modelling in Computer Aided Engineering, including the explanation of geometric modelling, model databases, and the differentiation between geometry and topology. It also covers the Euler-Poincare law for model validity and describes three common types of geometric modelling systems: wireframe, surface, and solid modelling. Additionally, the document includes examples and exercises related to topological data and MATLAB applications.

Engineering – ENG2009
UNIT 2 - Geometric Modelling
Upon completion of the unit, the student should be able to:

1. Explain the meaning of geometric modelling.


2. Explain the significance of model database.
3. Differentiate between geometry and topology as they relate to description
of a model database.
4. Use Euler-Poincare law to determine the validity of a model.
5. Describe the three common types of geometric modelling systems:
wireframe, surface and solid modelling systems.
6. State the characteristic features and applications of each modelling systems.
7. Produce simple wireframe, surface models and solid models.
Topology - same
faces, vertices and
edges

x2, y2, z2 Geometry – different


lengths, angles and
x1, y1, z1 location in space

[PAST PAPER]
Topological Data – a count of solid
model’s faces, edges and vertices
The following solid has 16 vertices,
24 edges, 11 faces, no holes, 1 shell
and 1 hole loop on the top face.
Therefore,

F – E + V = 2(S – G) + H
11 – 24 + 16 = 2(1 – 0) + 1
3=3
EXAMPLE 2
[PAST PAPER]
EXAMPLE 3

F – E + V = 2(S – G) + H
16 – 36 + 24 = 2(2 – 1) + 2
4=4

The following solid has a penetrating hole and an internal cubic chamber as
shown by the cut-away figure on the right. It has 24 vertices, 12*3 (cubes)
= 36 edges, 6*3 (cubes) - 2 (top and bottom openings) = 16 faces, 1 hole
(i.e., genus is 1), 2 shells and 2 hole (loop on top and bottom faces).
A closer look at…
What three edges intersect at V2?
What vertices exist at the limits of E4?
