Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

Computer-aide design (CAD) is the technology concerned with the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, and optimization of a design. Any computer program that embodies computer graphics and application program facilitating engineering functions in the design process is classified as CAD software. Computer aided drafting systems and geometric modeling systems are the most important component of CAD

Computer-aide manufacturing (CAM) is the technology concerned with the use of computer systems to plan, manage, and control manufacturing operations through either direct or indirect computer interface with the plants production resources Direct application NC, PLC, Manufacturing Cell, FMS Indirect application MRP, Process Planning, Scheduling, Inventory Control, Shop Floor Control

Given two points p1 and p2, and two vectors v1 and v2, find four vectors a0, a1, a2, and a3, such that the vector

function S(u) = a0 + a1u + a2u2 + a3u3 satisfies: 1. 2. it is a smooth function in (0u1), and its meets the boundary conditions S(0) = p1 and dS(u)/du|u=0 = v1 S(1) = p2 and dS(u)/du|u=1 = v2
