This document has two objectives: decomposition of a given trimmed surface into several four-sided subregions and creation of a diffeomorphism from the unit square onto each subregion. We aim at having a diffeomorphism which is easy and fast to evaluate. Throughout this paper one of our objectives is to keep the shape of the curves delineating the boundaries of the trimmed surfaces unchanged. The approach that is used invokes the use of transfinite interpolations. We will describe an automatic manner to specify internal cubic Bezier-spline curves that are to be subsequently interpolated by a Gordon patch. Some theoretical criterion pertaining to the control points of the internal curves is proposed and proved so as to ensure that the resulting Gordon patch is a diffeomorphism. Numerical results are reported to illustrate the approaches. Our benchmarks include CAD objects which come directly from IGES files.
