A Modeling Language for 3D Process Plant Layout Representation, Exchange and Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the nuclear industry, achieving Long Term Data Preservation is a requirement for nuclear power plants to be safely built, operated over five or six decades and retired. Among them, CAD data suffers from some strong dependencies on the software vendors and its data model thus leading to a possible weakness in the preservation workflow. This paper presents a modeling language, suitable for the 3D representation of a process plant layout, based upon a procedural Constructive Solide Geometry (CSG) approach. The language execution, as well as the layout rendering and exchange, are experimented using a platform independent implementation, based on free software and open standards.

3D UML Heuristic Challenge
Quality of diagram layout is not restricted to just the elements of one diagram and it is also not restricted to just two dimensions. Three dimensional spaces can be used to layout multiple related diagrams to give the user of the diagram a much more comprehensive view of a software system. The 3D UML Heuristic Challenge presents a workshop session that challenges the traditional methods for la...
متن کاملCOMAIDE: Information Visualization using Cooperative 3D Diagram Layout
COMAIDE is a toolkit for user-system cooperation through joint multi-focal graph browsing. It supports cooperative force-directed layout management, concurrent with dialogue handling, for heterogeneous multi-layered 3D interactive diagrams. The layout manager's intu-itively`natural' animations of multi-layered 3D graph drawings support: 1. Cooperative tidying of user-manipulable 3D layout; 2. O...

متن کاملProcedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment
This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...
متن کاملTopology reconstruction for B-Rep modeling from 3D mesh in reverse engineering applications
Nowadays, most of the manufactured objects are designed using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. Nevertheless, for visualization, data exchange or manufacturing applications, the geometric model has to be discretized into a 3D mesh composed of a finite number of vertices and edges. But, in some cases, the initial model may be lost or unavailable. In other cases, the 3D discrete representatio...
