A Model to Quantify Work Space Availability for Space?Contrained Scheduling Within a CAD Environment
In any given process work area, a task or activity requires a specific amount of space for its execution. This required space must be accommodate by the physical space of the work area...

A CAD-Based Construction Simulation Tool Kit for Construction Planning
Current planning and scheduling techniques place considerable reliance on the planners judgement, imagination and intuition. The result of such techniques is typically lengthy text reports...

CAD Applications for Material Handling in the Construction Environment
Research at Va. Tech in the area of dynamic behavior modeling and crane damping have been undertaken. The dynamic behavior modeling capability has been designed to us 3-D CAD models and...

Knowledge and Information Processing with Drawing Objects in Construction Phase
Knowledge processing by CAD systems poses challenging problems for the efficient integration of design and construction processes. While CAD systems have been applied to various phases...

Comprehensive Site Monitoring Through Model Based Reasoning
The authors of this paper have developed a computer object oriented intelligent construction site modeler which is dynamically linked to a 3D CAD system. Model Based Reasoning is used...

Finite Element Analysis and Design of Bridges with Applicatrons of ICAD
This paper describes applications of client-server models, interprocess communications (IPC), and concepts of intelligent CAD (ICAD) to the interactive design and analysis of highway bridge...

Finite Element Representation of Approach Slabs
Approaches to bridges are designed to provide a smooth and safe transition from the highway pavement to the bridge deck and back to the highway pavement. Generally this transition area,...

A New Approach for Road Network and Bridge Planning
Road networks usually include a large number of bridges and tunnels. The locations of these bridges and tunnels are decided by the road planner during the design of the road alignment...

Managing AutoCAD and Intergraph MicroStation Systems
The reality today is that Computer Aided Design information is being transferred from one CAD system to another. More often, sharing CAD information among the design team requires multiple...

Recommendations for the Design of CAD User Interfaces
The user interface of a CAD system appears to the users to be the system itself. Thus its design is very important. For this reason the committee 4.2.1 'Computer Aided Design' of the Gesellschaft...

3D Template of Human Figure for CG Animation in Design
It has become commonplace to use computer graphics (CG) animation in architectural and landscape design. Historically, CG animation has been employed primarily as one of many presentation...

Using Data Flow Diagrams to Study Communication Process Between Construction Project Participants
The Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry is characterized as being highly fragmented. A large number of diverse organizations participate in the planning, design, and construction...

ICPS: Integrated Construction Planning System by Object-Oriented Planning Models
Knowledge processing for integrated building system planning and construction system planning poses challenging problems to integrate design and construction process efficiently. While...

The Design Navigator
A building design system has no bridge the gap between the complexity of the design information, resulting from the artifact itself, the large amount of laws, regulations, and restrictions,...

What is Multimedia Computing?
Computing changed dramatically in the 1980s. The emergence of the personal computer desktop as a standard has spawned the existence of an incredible 60 million personal computers worldwide....

Interdisciplinary Communication of Design Critique in the Conceptual Design Stage
Computer tools provide little support for the communication of design concepts and problems across disciplines. Our objective is to help bridge the communication gap between architects...

Agent-Based Technology for Facility Design Software Integration
The application of a novel technology called Agent-Based Software Engineering to facility design software integration is presented. The technology is founded on the notion of design agents...

Architecture of an Object-Oriented Product Model Prototype for Integrated Building Design
The proposed integrated building design system consists of a product modeling framework represented by a general product model and several partial knowledge bases, a conventional CAD system,...

Knowledge Mapping for Facility Scope Modeling
This paper demonstrated how knowledge mapping can be applied to develop standard scope templates for facility scope management. We first develop several examples to illustrate this idea....

Explanation Facilities for Intelligent Engineering Tutors
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provide a method for humans to interact with a computer to learn about a particular topic. Usually, the ITS system has as part of its components a knowledge-based...
