RULES FOR SOLIDS MODELING ARE DEVELOPED AND PRESENTED IN GRAPH FORM. A SINGLE CLEAN SOLID CAN BE CREATED IN MINIMAL TIME USING THESE RULES. THE UNIVERSAL SOLID HAS THE DETAIL OF THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE, AND CAN BE ACCESSED BY ALL USERS IN A TRUE CIM ENVIRONMENT. ERRORS DUE TO MISINTERPRETATIONS BY EACH USER ARE AVOIDED, AS THEY ARE THE COST OF MULTIPLE MODELS. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING IS GREATLY ASSISTED. POTENTIAL ERRORS IN SOLID MODEL CREATION ARE ADDRESSED AND A FLOW CHART FOR DEBUGGING IS PROVIDED.
