| Abstract(in English) | We describe a distributed design system that uses NURBS as its basic primitive. It is a symmetrical synchronized multi-server system. Geometrical information and editorial information transferred between computers in the system are encapsulated in XML documents. NURBS stands for Non Uniform Rational B-Splines. The key benefit from the use of NURBS surface primitives in a distributed cooperate design system is that complex smooth surfaces can be described using a minimum set of parameters, resulting in a huge compression advantage compared to highly detailed triangular meshes. XML stands for Extendable Markup Language. It is the new standard in exchanging information across Internet or Intranet. The benefit of using XML to exchange information in the system is that the openness of XML made it possible to standardize the information into an open protocol. A standardized XML based protocol will make cooperation between different commercial applications possible. We tested with success in using plug-ins to link some commercial CAD and 3D modelers into the system. |
