NURBS Tutorial: Surface Continuity Analysis using Zebra.
This video is of relevance to users of NURBS CAD program including Rhinoceros 3D, Alias Studio, Alias Automotive, Solidthinking, ICEM Surf, etc.
NURBS stands for Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, and it is a mathematical representation used in computer graphics and 3D modeling to create smooth and precise curves and surfaces.
NURBS are defined by a set of control points that define the shape of the curve or surface, along with a set of mathematical functions that govern how the curve or surface is interpolated between these control points. NURBS curves and surfaces are defined by their degree, which determines the complexity and number of control points needed to accurately represent the shape.
NURBS have several advantages over other modeling techniques, such as polygonal modeling or subdivision modeling. Some of these advantages include:
Precision: NURBS allow for precise mathematical control over the shape of curves and surfaces, making it easier to create complex and detailed shapes.
Smoothness: NURBS curves and surfaces are naturally smooth and continuous, without the jagged edges or irregularities that can occur with other modeling techniques.
Flexibility: NURBS curves and surfaces can be easily modified and adjusted without affecting the overall shape or topology of the model.
Accuracy: NURBS can be used to create models with high levels of accuracy and precision, making them well-suited for engineering and industrial design applications.
NURBS with high quality smoothness and continuity are commonly used in a variety of industries, including product design, automotive design and aerospace engineering.
