A set of small but efficient software tools are presented, which aid the RF designer in his difficult task of establishing an optimized circuit topology and to test the experimental prototype.

Background and Objectives: The decreased level of self-esteem and life satisfaction is prevalent among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an Islamic approach to hope therapy on the promotion of self-esteem and life satisfaction in comparison with its conventional approach in patients with CAD. Methods: The study was conducte...

Design is an interactive and iterative process where the designer’s skills and knowledge are fused with emotive rationales aided by design tools. A design solution is thus influenced by the designer’s creativity, experience and emotional perception. Consequently, there is a need within computer aided design (CAD) research for ubiquitous tools to capture the affective states of engineers during ...

The use of 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models to support construction project planning has been increasing in the previous year. 3D CAD models reveal more planning ideas by visually showing the construction site environment in different stages of the construction process. Using 3D CAD models together with scheduling software to prepare construction plan can identify errors in process sequenc...

This paper presents ENVIRON (ENvironment for VIRtual Objects Navigation), an application that was developed motivated by the necessity of using Virtual Reality in large industrial engineering models coming from CAD (Computer Aided Design) tools. This work analyzes the main problems related to the production of a VR model, derived from the CAD model.

Three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography image models are helpful in reproducing the maxillofacial area; however, they do not necessarily provide an accurate representation of dental occlusion and the state of the teeth. Recent efforts have focused on improvement of dental imaging by replacement of computed tomography with other detailed digital images. Unfortunately, despite the advantages o...

Numerical simulation of real-world problems in computer aided engineering often requires the processing of complex CAD geometries. Powerful tools with fast algorithms must be supplied in order to cope with the huge amount of data. As the software package UG, combining parallelism and adaptivity with multigrid methods on unstructured grids, represents the ideal platform for solving large-scale p...

This paper describes the use of a general purpose distributed object support platform, including an advanced action model, to support Computer Aided Design (CAD) applications. In particular, it describes the use of the Amadeus/RelaX platform to support the DASSY tool interface which, in turn, supports a range of cooperating CAD tools. The paper provides an overview of the Amadeus/RelaX platform...
