Patent number: 8581903Abstract: A system and method for converting data generated in an computer engineering design software component to an alternate format usable by a variety of alternate software components is provided. Engineering data from a project having a plurality of objects is provided. Objects are selected from the project for conversion and transportation to one of the alternate software components. The selected objects are converted to an alternate format, transported to the alternate software component and regenerated by the alternate software component in its own environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: HNTB Holdings LtdInventors: Brian W. Trotta, Christopher C. Wills, Juan A. Uribe

Patent number: 8160841Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-storage media are provided that allow data from different sources and aspects of bridge design and construction to be merged into a common bridge information model. The bridge information model may include geometric, structural, survey, and construction information associated with a bridge-development project. The bridge information model may be stored as data objects in a relational data structure. Each data object may represent a bridge structure element and include metadata and attributes describing the bridge structure element.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: HNTB Holdings LtdInventors: Glen A. Herman, Brian W. Trotta, James C. Peterson

Publication number: 20110125473Abstract: A system and method for receiving and displaying simulated movement data on a graphical display in real-time is provided. Simulated movement data from a simulation is received. The type and location of each object to be displayed on a graphical display for a time step is extracted from the simulated movement data. The extracted data is transferred to an application for determining an appropriate three-dimensional representation to associate with each type of object in the first point in time. Each three-dimensional representation is displayed according the location of each object for the first point in time of the simulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: HNTB HOLDINGS LTDInventors: BRIAN W. TROTTA, CHRISTOPHER CHARLES WILLS

Publication number: 20110125472Abstract: A system and method for collecting and modeling simulated movement data on a graphical display is provided. Simulated movement data from a simulation is accessed from a database. The simulated movement data comprises each location of a object on a graphical display for multiple points in time of the simulation. A three-dimensional representation is associated with the object and the three-dimensional representation is displayed at each location on the graphical display for each point in time of the simulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: HNTB HOLDINGS LTDInventors: BRIAN W. TROTTA, CHRISTOPHER CHARLES WILLS
