Abstract
A computer is provided with polyhedron corners. The computer uses the polyhedron corners to automatically determine the corresponding polyhedron edges and polyhedron areas and thus a closed polyhedron. The polyhedron corresponds to the selected portion of a volume. Only this selected portion is evaluated by the computer and is represented, in particular, by an output medium.
Claims24
A computer-aided selection method for a part of a volume, comprising:
- evaluating, using a computer, only a selected part of the volume,
- wherein the selected part is in the form of a polyhedron with polyhedron surfaces, with each polyhedron surface being bounded by polyhedron edges and with each polyhedron edge being bounded by polyhedron corners bounding only two polyhedron surfaces,
- wherein
- the polyhedron corners are for the computer in order to determine the selected part, and
- wherein the polyhedron edges and polyhedron surfaces are determined automatically by the computer on the basis of the polyhedron corners.
