According to conceptual changes on design methodology, this paper presents some research results on a new generation of CAD systems. This new software has not to be used to achieve automatic design tasks at all. On the contrary, it has to make part of an integrated design environment. A co-operative…

A new approach is introduced to reduce the number of nodes of a polyhedral model according to several conditions which allow to produce high quality simpli®ed geometries. The simpli®ed polyhedron must satisfy everywhere a geometric restoration criterion based on an error zone assigned to each node o…

La construction d'une surface paramétrique à partir de données issues de la numérisation d'un objet réel est une étape longue et fastidieuse pour l'utilisateur. La difficulté principale de ce processus réside dans la décomposition de la surface de l'objet en carreaux comportant, de préférence, quatr…

Dans les systèmes électriques actuels, l'électronique de puissance est de plus en plus utilisée pour conditionner l'énergie électrique. Les convertisseurs statiques ont subi une évolution technologique importante notamment pour augmenter leur rendement et leur compacité. Ces performances sont essent…
