Mathematical definition and manipulation of part surfaces within a computer assists the body engineer in the design of automobile components and in the evaluation of tentative designs. Methods have been developed to design hardware mechanisms rationally, to evaluate optical distortion characteristics of tentative windshield designs, and to generate data about the effects of component tolerances. Methods have been established for the application of analytic surface methods to actual body parts.
