Abstract: To allow simple creation of three-dimensional documentation for a utility article (1) made up of multiple parts (T), image parameters (BP) of at least one illustration (A) of the utility article (1) in existing two-dimensional documentation (2) are ascertained, a 3D model (M) of the utility article (1) with the ascertained image parameters (BP) is aligned with the illustration (A), and, based on a comparison of the two-dimensional illustration (A) and of the 3D model (M) to the ascertained image parameters (BP) from the two-dimensional illustration (A), additional information is obtained, which together with the 3D model (M) forms the three-dimensional documentation (10) of the utility article (1).

Abstract: A process for creating an executable configuration that can be run on a target system by selecting from a library a number of abstracted software components that are independent of the target system that implement individual functions of the target system and that are provided with a specified command interface and a specified interface to data channels, the selected software components that are independent of the target system are interconnected via their data channels for the realization of the automatization task to a model which is automatically transformed by a model transformation into a net list of nodes, attributes and edges, whereby the software components form the nodes, the initial parameters, the attributes and the data channels the edges of the net list, the software components that are independent of the target system are transformed into software components dependent on the target system, the software components that are dependent on the target system are instantiated at the target system and p

Abstract: The automatization unit used in current test stands is a central system in which various interfaces are connected with the individual test stand components. As a result, an inflexible system is created with limited scalability, as numerous changes are required in the automatization unit, for example, a new interface, processing of data from/to the component, integration into the existing system, etc. in order to integrate new components (SW and HW). This makes a change or an enhancement of the automatization unit, the implementation of specific customer requests or the integration of an external functionality very expensive.
