Automated design and visualization system of a house foundation from blocks
Abstract
This article analyzes creation methods of automated design system, presents design system of a house foundation from blocks. The creation methods of automated design system of a house foundation from blocks are discovered with Unified Modeling Language. Analyzed ohjeels-classes: block, specification, model. Graphical system can design foundation, form specification of objects and create 3D model of house foundation. There are several types and different dimensions of concrete blocks. The program optimally arranges selected blocks so that monolithic parts will be minimal volume. Program selects a house foundation blocks from database by using ActiveX Data Objects technology, which by programming method connects drawing and database. Drawing's graphical objects have additional data from which exchange of data between graphical system and database is executed. Visualization system and example of house foundation from blocks project with specifications is presented. Creation problems of automated design system are discussed and conclusions are made.
