Description
Summary:A new technique called edge boundary classification (EBC) for recognition of features from boundary representation (B-rep) solid model to support integrated manufacturing is presented. Features are interpreted from patterns formed by identifying the solid and void 'sides' of a boundary entity using the spatial addressability information of solid models. The application of the EBC technique for recognising simple and interacting cylindrical-based features is explained and discussed. The type of features experimented are through-hole, blind-hole, boss and internal undercut. The results obtained show that cylindrical-based features can easily be recognised using the EBC technique.
