ABSTRACT
Language for Structured Design (LSD)is a high level, visual, logic programming language for design of structured objects. LSD combines the design and programming activities in a homogeneous programming/design environment by extending Lograph, a visual logic programming language, with the notion of solids and operations on them. At the back-end, however, a solid modeling kernel for maintaining low level description of solids and operations is required.In this paper, we report on our progress towards employing PLaSM, a functional programming language for solid modeling, as the solid modeling kernel of LSD. This is achieved through the use of a translator engine which transforms the high level object description produced by LSD programs to PLaSM programs.
