Abstract
A computer-implemented method of incarnating a self-intersecting lattice structure as a mesh in a three-dimensional model is described. A pair of bodies in the lattice is chosen. An initial set of sample points is created by intersecting a set of constant parameter curves within the parameter range lying on the surface of one of the bodies of the pair with the surface of the other body of the pair. Chords between adjacent sample points in the initial set of samples that lie within a pre-determined tolerance of the surfaces of both bodies in the pair are calculated and iterated over until all the sample points are within the pre-determined tolerance. Once this is done for all bodies in the lattice, a mesh is incarnated.
