    Surface models are 3D models without thickness that are used in industries like automotive and aerospace. Surface models represent the surface profile of objects and can be used to calculate properties, check for interference, generate cross sections, mesh for FEA, and create tool paths. Common surface types include extruded, revolved, swept, ruled, planar, and synthetic surfaces generated using techniques like Bezier, B-spline, Coons patches, and tabulated surfaces which are defined by curves, points or other geometry. Surface creation in CAD requires wireframe entities as inputs to generate the surfaces.

    SURFACE MODELING
     Surface models are a type of three-dimensional (3D) models

    with no thickness. These models are widely used in industries
    like automobile, aerospace, plastic, medical, and so on.
     Surface models should not be confused with thick models, that
    is, models having mass properties.
     Surface models do not have thickness whereas thick or solid
    models have a user-defined thickness.
    Extruded Surface

     Surface with open ends
    Revolved Surface

     Revolved surface with open ends
    Sweep Surface

     Sweep surface with open ends
    Helical sweep surface with open
    ends

    Curves selected to blend

     A surface model can be used to represent the surface profile of
    these objects. Also, surface model can be used for calculating

    mass properties, interference between parts, generating cross-
    sectioned views, generating finite element mesh, and
    generating NC tool paths for continuous path machining
     Surface creation on a CAD system usually requires wire frame
    entities: lines, curves, points, etc. All analytical and synthetic

    curves can be used to generate surfaces.
     A surface of an object is more complete and less ambiguous
    representation than its wire frame model; it is an extension of
    a wire frame model with additional information.
    Plane Surface


     This is the simplest surface, requires 3 non-coincidental
    points to define an infinite plane. The plane surface can be
    used to generate cross sectional views by intersecting a
    surface or solid model with it.
    Ruled Surface


     This is a linear surface. It interpolates linearly between
    two boundary curves that define the surface. Boundary
    curves can be any wire frame entity. The surface is ideal to
    represent surfaces that do not have any twists or kinks.
     Boundary Curve
    Surface of Revolution


     This is an axisymmetric surface that can model
    axisymmetric objects. It is generated by rotating a planar
    wire frame entity in space about the axis of symmetry of a
    given angle.
    Tabulated Surface


     This is a surface generated by translating a planar curve a
    given distance along a specified direction. The plane of
    the curve is perpendicular to the axis of the generated
    cylinder.
    Bi-linear Surface


    This 3-D surface is generated by interpolation of 4
    endpoints. Bi-linear surfaces are very useful in
    finite element analysis. A mechanical structure is
    discretized into elements, which are generated by
    interpolating 4 node points to form a 2-D solid
    element.
     
    Coons patch

     Coons patch or surface is generated by the interpolation of
    4 edge curves as shown
    Bezier Surface

     This is a synthetic surface similar to the Bezier curve and is


    obtained by transformation of a Bezier curve. It permits twists
    and kinks in the surface. The surface does not pass through all
    the data points
    B-Spline Surface


     This is a synthetic surface and does not pass through all
    data points. The surface is capable of giving very smooth
    contours, and can be reshaped with local controls.
