Abstract

This paper considers an approach towards the building of new classes of symmetric closed curves with two or more focal points, which can be obtained by generalizing classical definitions of the ellipse, Cassini, and Cayley ovals. A universal numerical method for creating such curves in mathematical packages is introduced. Specific aspects of the provided numerical data in computer-aided design systems with B-splines for three-dimensional modeling are considered. The applicability of the method is demonstrated, as well as the possibility to provide high smoothness of the curvature profile at the specified accuracy of modeling.
