Dynamic mesh adaptation on unstructured grids, by localised refinement and derefinement, is a very efficient tool for enhancing solution accuracy and optimise computational time. One of the major drawbacks however resides in the projection of the new nodes ...
The ambitious goal of the ongoing research at IBOIS, the Laboratory of timber constructions at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is to develop a next generation of timber constructions made out of innovative timber-derived products, throu ...
In everyday life of an engineer, CAD (Computer Aided Design) and FE (Finite Element) programs play an important role. The two different structures, CAD and FE programs, use different mathematical functions. In CAD programs, so called NURBS find their appli ...
Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) decisions and judgments have been at the heart of architectural design practice. Despite the increasing popularity of computer aided design applications, measuring the decision making of designers empirically rema ...
Enterprise Architecture (EA) requires modeling enterprises across multiple levels (from markets down to IT systems) i.e. modeling hierarchical systems. Our goal is to build a Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool for EA. To be able to build this CAD tool, we ne ...
Presentation of the BIM produced for the renovation of the first skyscraper of Switzerland built in 1930 by Alphonse Laverrière. The project of the renovation was done by CCHE Architecture (Ehrensperger, Steiner, Cherix et al.). First, a digital model was ...
For architects, real-time 3D visual rendering of CAD-models is a valuable tool. The architect usually perceives the visual appearance of the building interior in a natural and realistic way during the design process. Unfortunately this only emphasizes the ...
The widely available automated prefabrication in timber construction companies, as well as modern CAD software with application programing interfaces, allow for the design and production of increasingly geometrically complex building components. This devel ...
Background. Persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have increased rates of coronary artery disease (CAD). The relative contribution of genetic background, HIV-related factors, antiretroviral medications, and traditional risk factors to CA ...
This paper presents a new global design methodology capable to bridge the gap between an abstract specification level and a heterogeneous reconfigurable architecture level. The Epicure contribution is the result of a joint study on abstraction/refinement m ...
