Abstract :
This paper presents the necessary requirements for a multi-representational solid modeler combining constructive solid geometry (CSG) and boundary representation (B-rep) to be coupled to a 3D automatic finite-element mesh generator in electromagnetic problems. A modeler architecture and the functional specifications of the modules are defined. Implementation details, including object oriented data structures and class definitions are described
