Title :
Using a feature algebra in process planning
Author :
Karinthi, Raghu ; Nau, Dana
Abstract :
An algebraic approach to handling feature interactions is presented. Given one valid interpretation of a machinable part as a collection of machinable features, all other valid interpretations of the part as other collections of machinable features can be derived through operations in the feature algebra. A subset of this feature algebra dealing with rectangular solids and cylinders has been implemented as the basis of a geometric reasoning system for use in communicating between a solid modeler and a process planning system
