A CASE STUDY OF MODELING A TORUS IN DIFFERENT MODELING SOFTWARES

Journal Title: Journal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1

Abstract

Modeling of the complex geometric shapes requires the use of appropriate softwares. This study analyzes the process of modeling with two different computer softwares, AutoCAD and Rhinoceros. The aim is to demonstrate the similarities and differences between these softwares when used for modeling torus, a double curved geometric surface. The two modeling processes are compared in order to investigate the potentials of these softwares in the modeling of an architectural structure comprising a shell of the torus. After a detailed comparative analysis, the essential characteristics and shortcomings of these programs are emphasized and they were used to recommend the more appropriate one.
