[CIM/Sys. Definition] Definition of Points, Lines, and Face Elements

Question

Explain points, lines, and face elements used in CIM.

Answer

CIM defines points, lines, and face elements as [Vertex / Edge / Face].

[Vertex / Edge / Face]represent points, lines, and planes that make up an object, and since these are elements, they differ from [Point / Wire / Surface] that are objects.

Figure. 1 [Point / Wire / Surface]

Figure. 2 [Vertex / Edge / Face]

Let’s take the Sub Shape as an example that makes up the Box object.
