Optimal Geometric Trimming of B-spline Surfaces for Aircraft Design

Optimal Geometric Trimming of B-spline Surfaces for Aircraft Design

B-spline surfaces have been widely used in aircraft design to represent different types of components in a uniform format. Unlike the visual trimming of B-spline surfaces, which hides unwanted portions in rendering, the geometric trimming approach provides a mathematically clean representation. This...
