Abstract
A solid modeling system for combining a plurality of geometric model elements to form a whole model. The whole model is represented as a collection of non-manifold boundary elements. A data file maintains a record of the correspondence between each non-manifold boundary element and each geometric model element of the whole model, to permit easy and fast modification of the whole model.
