Definition: Geometry consists of the mathematical description of individual part surfaces. Modern CAD systems employ what is called the boundary representation method for describing model geometry. Boundary representations consist of curves, surfaces, edges, and faces. In a valid model, the faces meet at the edges to form a closed volume.
