摘要:T-Splines were invented in 2003 to address the major limitations of the NURBS free-form surface representation which is the industry standard in computer aided. T-Splines provide a watertight model of arbitrary topology that allows for local refinement. T-Splines also simplify the model creation procedure for designers. In addition, T-Splines are emerging as the representation of choice for IsoGeometric Analysis.
