Claim 5:
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the ruled surface is of the type (w,t)L(w,t) with L(w,t)=S(u(w),v(w))+tδN (u(w),v(w)), where:
S is a supporting surface of F defined for parameters u and v, with F being a face of the B-rep portion bounded by the respective boundary edge,
δ is an offset value,
N(u,v) is a normal vector of S defined for the parameters u and v, with being a supporting surface of P defined for the parameters u and v by S(u,v)=S (u,v)+δN (u,v), with P being a face of the B-rep offset bounded by the corresponding boundary edge,
w is a parameter such that wS(u(w),v(w)) is a 3D curve supporting the respective boundary edge, and
t is a parameter t∈[0,1].
