Abstract

This paper describes SCSolver, a geometric constraint solver based on adaptive sampling of an underlying constraint space. The solver is demonstrated on the computation of the offset to a surface as well as the computation of the bisector between two surfaces. The adaptive constraint sampling generates a solution manifold through a generalized dual-contouring approach appropriate for higher-dimensional problems. Experimental results show that the SCSolver approach can compute solutions for complex input geometry at interactive rates for each example application.
