This article presents solid modeling of space station structures in a multiprocessing environment such as the Cray YMP 8/864. A space station is modeled as a collection of space trusses. Elements of trusses are created concurrently using constructive solid geometry. Concurrent solid modeling of large structures can be integrated with parallel algorithms for optimization of such structures in order to fully automate their computer‐aided design in a multiprocessing environment.
