Types of surfaces:-

From CAD/CAM point of view surfaces are as important as

curves and solids. We need to have an idea of curves for surface
creation. In the same way surfaces form the boundaries of the
solids.

The surfaces entities are of two types:-

1. Analytic surfaces

2. Synthetic surfaces
1. Analytic surfaces
 Surface entities which are defined by the analytic equation are
knows as analytic surface.

 The various type of analytic surfaces, used in surface modeling

are discussed below:

 1) Plane surface 2)Ruled surfaces

3) Tabulated surface 4) Surface of revolution
1) Plane Surface
 This is the simplest surface, requires 3 non-
coincidental points to define an infinite plane. The
plane surface can be used to generate cross
sectional views by intersecting a surface or solid
model with it.
2) Ruled (lofted) Surface
 This is a linear surface. It interpolates linearly
between two boundary curves that define the
surface. Boundary curves can be any wire frame
entity. The surface is ideal to represent surfaces that
do not have any twists or kinks.
3) Tabulated Surface
 This is a surface generated by translating a planar
curve a given distance along a specified direction.
The plane of the curve is perpendicular to the axis of
the generated cylinder.
4) Surface of Revolution
 This is an axisymmetric surface that can model
axisymmetric objects. It is generated by rotating a
planar wire frame entity in space about the axis of
symmetry of a given angle.
2. Synthetic surfaces
 The surface entities are defined by the set of data
point are known as synthetic surfaces.
 The synthetic surfaces are needed when a surface
is represented by a collection of data points. The
synthetic surface are represented by the polynomial.
 The various types of synthetic surfaces, used in
surface modeling are:-
1)Hermite bi-cubic surface 2) Bezier surface
3)B-spline surface 4) Coons surface(patch)
5) Fillet surface 6) Offset surface
1)Hermite bi-cubic surface
 This 3-D surface is generated by interpolation of 4
endpoints. Bi-linear surfaces are very useful in finite
element analysis. A mechanical structure is
discretized into elements, which are generated by
interpolating 4 node points to form a 2-D solid
element.
2) Bezier surface
 This is a synthetic surface similar to the Bezier curve
and is obtained by transformation of a Bezier curve.
It permits twists and kinks in the surface. The surface
does not pass through all the data points. It is
synthetic surface which is approximated by the given
data point.
3) B-Spline surface
 This is a synthetic surface and does not pass
through all data points. The surface is capable of
giving very smooth contours, and can be reshaped
with local controls
4) Coons surface(patch)
 Coons patch or surface is generated by the
interpolation of 4 edge curves as shown
5) Fillet surface
 Fillet surface is a blend of two surfaces which
intersect each other. If required, a fillet of specified
radius may be provided at the intersection of two
surfaces.
6) Offset surface
 An existing surfaces can be offset to create new
surface. The offset surface is identical in shape with
the existing surface, but may have the different
dimensions.
