Abstract

Actual CAD systems are still monolithic and are based on complex geometrical models. Our aim is to implement a new approach taking advantage of web possibilities and providing a novice end-user with an easy-to-use system. In order to get the same performances as a local system, it is necessary to provide our system with adequate data representation and architecture.
