  • Publication number: 20240062160
    Abstract: Mechanisms to facilitate task related information sharing between different parties of a project are disclosed. A task will have one or more dependent tasks. To share task related information of a first task, mutual access rights are provided per a pair of the first task and a dependent task. Thanks to the mutual access rights, a party responsible for the dependent task will have access rights to task related information of the first task and a party responsible for the first task will have access rights to task related information of the dependent task.

  • Patent number: 11250179
    Abstract: To enable to display one or more drawing content, which have been created during defining one or more engineering drawings from a model which comprises one or more parts to model one or more structures, digital twins of the one or more drawing content with associated information are created and published. The associated information of the digital twin comprises three-dimensional coordinates for the drawing content in question, determined based on one or more parts, to which the drawing content relates, and identifying information of said one or more parts.

  • Patent number: 10417819
    Abstract: To facilitate modeling a virtual object type is introduced. The virtual object type is a generic modeling aid by means of which one or more virtual objects, each representing a three-dimensional determined volume within a model, may be created, the virtual object being usable for modeling one or more physical objects representing one or more articles that will or may exist in the real world.

  • Patent number: 9230043
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20140200862
    Abstract: To facilitate reading out information relating to an object, a drawing is split according to one or more splitting rules to one or more split drawings before it is outputted, a split drawing showing at least one of the objects or one or more pieces of the related information in a way other than it will be shown in the drawing.

  • Patent number: 8645111
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8046210
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8041744
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7765240
    Abstract: 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.
