Abstract

Nowadays, many commercial CAD systems are built on proprietary geometric kernel which provide an API containing a set of high level geometric operations (boolean operations, slot, chamfering, etc). Because of their complexity, these operations can generate important modifications on topological cells (vertices, edges, faces, volumes, etc.) of the objects. At the same time, many of these kernels need to know precisely what has occurred to each topological cell belonging to objects given or resulting from a previous high level geometric operation. At the end of each operation, the geometric kernel must provide a bulletin board describing cells' evolution through a list of events (split, merge, creation, deletion).
