Abstract
We describe an extension to the geometric domain of solid modeling to include solids defined by spatial sweeping and Minkowski sums. We develop an efficient, parallel algorithm for the translation of such solid models. An architecture and design of an array processor that implements this algorithm are presented. We discuss some applications of the new computer to solid modeling an CAD/CAM and modeling of large biomolecules (proteins) for rational drug design.
