non-uniform rational B-spline - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) is a mathematical model used in computer graphics for generating and representing curves and surfaces. It is a type of spline, which is a curve or surface defined by control points. NURBS are used in CAD/CAM applications to create smooth curves and surfaces. 
  
  How to use it: 
  NURBS are used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to create 3D models of objects. The NURBS model is used to define the shape of the object, and then the model is rendered using the CA-VE software. The NURBS model can be manipulated to create different shapes and sizes of objects. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using NURBS in CA-VE, it is important to understand the different types of control points that can be used. Control points can be used to define the shape of the object, as well as its size and orientation. It is also important to understand how the NURBS model works in order to create accurate models.
