Visual Programming Technique and Virtual Prototyping Technology Used in Civil Engineering
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 42
Abstract
Building designers face exciting new challenges in incorporating new and innovative technologies in areas of the building structures. In this paper the techniques of 3D modelling and virtual prototyping were applied to create and to develop of virtual models related to the construction process. The 3D models created to support rehabilitation design emerge as an important tool for the monitoring of anomalies in structures and to assist decisions based on the visual analyses of alternative solutions. In this paper was also developed virtual interactive models, showing construction works. These applications allow the visual simulation of the physical progression of each type of work and also assist in the study of the necessary equipment needed and how it functions on site. The introduction of CAD and virtual prototyping technique in civil engineering is helpful to engineers in order to advise them to consider these techniques as important supports, in their professional practice.
