Abstract
A computer-implemented method for constructing structures using beams bounded by quadric surfaces of revolution includes generating a quador beam within a computer-aided design (CAD) tool. The quador beam comprises two spheres at opposing endpoints, and the beam is bounded by a quadric surface of revolution around an axis of symmetry joining the center of the two spheres. The quadric surface of revolution abuts with tangent continuity with the surface of each of the spheres. Once generated, the quador beam can be visualized in the CAD tool or another display medium.
