by J. M. Burridge, B. M. Collins, B. N. Galton, A. R. Halbert, T. R. Heywood, W. H. Latham, R. W. Phippen, P. Quarendon, P. Reilly, M. W. Ricketts, J. Simmons, S. J. P. Todd, A. G. N. Walter, J. R. Woodwark
The IBM United Kingdom Scientific Centres WINchester SOlid Modelling system (WINSOM) is a set-theoretic, constructive solid geometry (CSG) modeller based on recursive division techniques. It specializes in handling complex models and provides graphical facilities intended for engineering applications. This paper describes WINSOM and some of the many programs that are linked to it, and gives examples of their application to problems of data visualization.
