Abstract

The technical features of a Geometric Modeling System (GEMS) developed by CAD Center of Tsinghua University are introduced. An approach to improve the robustness of Boolean operation, which is the key step of geometric modeling system is presented. Some test results showing the improvement of robustness are given. Two application examples of GEMS are introduced briefly in the last section.
