Q.1 What are the various requirements of geometric modeling? Ans. Must stay invariant with regard to its location and orientation. Must have an interior and must not have isolated parts. Must be finite and occupy only a finite shape. Transformation or other must produce another solid. The model of the solid in E3 (Euler space) may contain infinite number of points. The boundary of the solid must uniquely identify Q.2 How geometric model can be categorized? Ans. Two dimensional models Three dimensional models Q.3 What are the various methods are employed in Geometric modeling? Ans. Sweep Solid Modeling Sculptured surfaces Skinning or Lofting Q.4 What are the different types of sweep techniques? Ans. Liner extrusion or translation sweep Rotational sweep Q.5 What are the advantages of solid modeling? Ans. Better communication More clarity Overcome the limitation of wireframe modeling Easy to create model Q.6 What are the various functions of geometric modeling? Ans. Design analysis Drafting Manufacturing Production Engineering Inspection and Quality control

Q.7 What are the limitations of wireframe modeling system? Ans. All lines are shown in image Surface are not created Intersection of surface and edge are not clarify Q.8 What are the various three-dimensional construction methods? Ans. Sweep Solid Modeling Sculptured surfaces Skinning or Lofting Q.9 What are the Miscellaneous construction methods in geometric modeling? Ans. Filleting Tweaking Q.10 What is Boolean operation? Ans. Combining the primitives to form the complex solid, tha basic set operation is called Boolean Operation.
