The objective of this research is to apply formal language methods from         computer science to the field of solid modeling.  In particular,                research will be created into the use of shape grammars as formal,              direct generators of physical solids.  How solids are combined to meet          physical and functional requirements is a central question in design            that has yet to be answered.  This research will contribute to a better         formal understanding of both the relationships between known                    descriptions of solids, for example, constructive solid geometry and            boundary representation, and the possibilities, constraints, and                complexities of solid modeling.
