Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The challenges that a designer faces in modelling shapes of arbitrary topology, are well supported by the so-called H-rep concept, which is based on the tangent plane continuous interpolation of an arbitrary network of intersecting curves. Until recently, making general design changes in stages of detailed design was not well supported. A simple and efficient method is proposed to overcome this limitation in the H-rep, acting on points positioned on the surface. An effective design tool has evolved that allows feature curves to be manipulated regardless of detail, without negative effects on other design features.
