Patent number: 9230043Abstract: To enable the utilization of a definition or definitions once made as the definitions of a similar object, a set of conditions for similarity including one or more conditions is defined and a set of definitions, which explicitly or inexplicitly indicates one or more definitions, of which at least one will be applied, and a similar object is searched for. If the set of definitions is related to an object which was used as the basis for defining the set of conditions for similarity, the set of definitions is applied to the object found. If the set of definitions is related to an object to be found, the set of definitions of the object found is applied to the object which was used as the basis for defining the set of conditions for similarity.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Inventors: Jukka Suomi, Teemu Heikkonen, Ragnar Wessman, Pertti Alho, Ville Rousu

Patent number: 8645111Abstract: Modification of a model in situations, where one end of several parts should be transferred for the same distance, for instance, has posed a problem in modeling systems. The problem can be solved by defining a magnetic control plane to which model part handles locating thereon will adhere without separate definitions given by the user and they move (406) along with the plane. The only thing the user needs to do is to create a plane and to define the plane type to be a magnetic control plane. On the basis of these data given by the user the modeling system knows what to transfer when the magnetic control plane is transferred.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2005Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Tekla CorporationInventors: Teemu Heikkonen, Iiro Ojala, Ville Rousu, Pertti Alho, Jukka Partanen, Jukka Suomi, Ragnar Wessman

Patent number: 8046210Abstract: To enable the utilization of a definition or definitions once made as the definitions of a similar object, a set of conditions for similarity comprising one or more conditions is defined (201) and a set of definitions (202), which explicitly or inexplicitly indicates one or more definitions, of which at least one will be applied, and a similar object is searched for (203). If the set of definitions is related to an object which was used as the basis for defining the set of conditions for similarity, the set of definitions is applied to the object found. If the set of definitions is related to an object to be found, the set of definitions of the object found is applied to the object which was used as the basis for defining the set of conditions for similarity.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Tekla CorporationInventors: Jukka Suomi, Teemu Heikkonen, Ragnar Wessman, Pertti Alho, Ville Rousu

Patent number: 8041744Abstract: In a modeling method and system, a model is created by using parametric basic elements and parameterized complementary elements, each having special parameters; such that a complementary object to be created with a parameterized complementary element is directly or indirectly, at least via one of its parameter values, associated with at least one basic object created with a basic element.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2005Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Tekla CorporationInventors: Teemu Heikkonen, Ragnar Wessman, Pertti Alho, Jukka Partanen, Ville Rousu, Jukka Suomi

Patent number: 7765240Abstract: To minimize errors in computer-aided modeling, an object created by a user on the basis of a prototype must contain data about another object it can be linked with and about the linking. The object created by the user can be provide with these data by determining at least one logical property either for the object created by the user or for an object associated therewith; adding at least one logical definition to the object created by the user, the definition being based on at least one logical property of either the associated object or the created object; and forming a dependency by means of the logical definition.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2004Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Tekla CorporationInventors: Pertti Alho, Ragnar Wessman, Ville Rousu, Jukka Suomi, Jukka Partanen, Timo Rihtniemi, Tiina Rautakorpi, Mika Salonen, Teemu Heikkonen

Patent number: 7617076Abstract: This invention relates to a method and systems to form structures from predefined elementary parts. In the invention at least two predefined elementary parts are combined for forming a desired structure. The part comprises desired features for the desired structure. A control means handles the combining of the elementary parts.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2003Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Tekla CorporationInventors: Ville Rousu, Pertti Alho, Jukka Partanen, Jukka Suomi, Ragnar Wessman

Patent number: 7302368Abstract: This invention relates to the forming of a construction, where structural models representing structural members and the models of the loads describing real loads are used. The models of the loads are situated in the same space with the structural models of the construction. For each model of load, an influence space is defined. The effect of the model of the load is focused on the structural members at least partly inside the influence space of the model of the load.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2003Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Tekla CorporationInventors: Timo Rihtniemi, Pertti Alho
