Abstract: An EXPRESS schema is a data schema defined in EXPRESS, an international standard language for defining product data schemas. This technical paper proposes and formally defines a set of conditions for generating a minimum ...

Abstract: What information can or cannot be exchanged between different systems? Since the dawn of the computer-aided design and engineering era, interoperability has been an issue. The exchangeable set of information between different ...

Abstract: This study analyzes in detail the information requirements for managing higher education facilities by building information modeling (BIM). This is achieved by conducting a job shadowing quarterly for a year, a document ...

Abstract: This study introduces a framework for transplanting a building information modeling (BIM) library. Design detailing constitutes 50%–60% of the total design time, even within the BIM context. Previous studies have highlighted ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a simple numerical chart comprising the smallest possible number of variables to rapidly represent levels of building information modeling (BIM) adoption and implementation. The slim BIM chart employs ...

Abstract: Despite general perceptions, mass customization of double-curved metal panels with slight variations remains challenging. This paper reports the results of a three-year effort to develop a new hybrid sheet metal processing ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an algorithm for extracting a partial model from an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) instance model without an IFC schema or a complete IFC model view definition (MVD). The methods developed in previous ...

Abstract: Recently, several papers reported problems in data exchange using industry foundation classes (IFC). However, most comparisons were made based on a visual check, a manual count, and observation of properties that were ...
