Application of multi user technology for teamwork in CAD modelling

Abstract

This work considers the management of teamwork in CAD modelling of engineering design and construction processes. In teamwork a variety of specialists work together on the development of one compound object, which leads to a constant exchanger of technical information and tracking the modifications performed by other project participants. Other difficulties involve working with elements that are connected to another element already used by other participants. A multi-user technology permits multiple users to navigate and interact in a shared virtual environment that facilitates the modelling process, especially when working on complex construction solution for compound and multi-structured models.
