Digital three-dimensional models of the existing architectonic structures are created for the purpose of digitalization of the archive documents, presentation of buildings or an urban entity or for conducting various analyses and tests. Traditional methods for the creation of 3D models of the existing buildings assume manual measuring of their dimensions, using the photogrammetry method or laser scanning. Such approaches require considerable time spent in data acquisition or application of specific instruments and equipment. The goal of this paper is presentation of the procedure for the creation of 3D models of the existing structures using the globally available web resources and free software packages on standard PCs. This shortens the time of the production of a digital three-dimensional model of the structure considerably and excludes the physical presence at the location. In addition, precision of this method was tested and compared with the results acquired in a previous research.

The current state of thermodynamic modelling in the field of high-temperature lead-free soldering is presented. A consistent thermodynamic database, containing 18 elements (Ag, Al, Au, Bi, Co, Cu, Ga, Ge, Mg, Ni, P, Pb, Pd, Sb, Sn, Ti and Zn) has been created. The thermodynamic data for the most of the important binary and selected ternary systems were checked and included into the database. The database was tested using major commercial software packages. Such reliable and sophisticated software coupled to reliable thermodynamic databases are necessary prerequisites for application of thermodynamics in advanced alloys design.

Abstract Commercial software packages enable the thermal environment of shaped castings to be determined provided the boundary conditions are well understood. Criteria functions (CF’s) based on the thermal environment provide a means for estimating shrinkage porosity within a casting. However, the CF’s do not account for gas driven porosity forming within the casting. This paper reviews the CF’s and additional approaches to account for hydrogen evolution in aluminum-copper and aluminum-silicon alloys.

AbstractThis paper (Wu 2016), which was published in AI EDAM online on August 22, 2016, has been retracted by Cambridge University Press as it is very similar in content to a published ASME Conference Proceedings paper. The article in question and the ASME Conference Proceedings paper were submitted for review with AI EDAM and the ASME at similar times, but copyright was assigned to ASME before the paper was accepted in AI EDAM and therefore the article in AI EDAM is being retracted. (In recent years, industrial nations around the globe have invested heavily in new technologies, software, and services to advance digital design and manufacturing using cyber-physical systems, data analytics, and high-performance computing. Many of these initiatives, such as cloud-based design and manufacturing, fall under the umbrella of what has become known as Industry 4.0 or Industrial Internet and are often hailed as pillars of a new industrial revolution. While an increasing number of companies are developing or already offer commercial cloud-based software packages and services for digital design and manufacturing, little work has been reported on providing a review of the state of the art of these commercial software and services as well as identifying research gaps in this field. The objective of this paper is to present a state-of-the-art review of digital design and manufacturing software and services that are currently available on the cloud. The focus of this paper is on assessing to what extent engineering design, engineering analysis, manufacturing, and production across all phases of the product development lifecycles can already be performed based on the software and services accessed through the cloud. In addition, the key capabilities and benefits of these software packages and services are discussed. Based on the assessment of the core features of commercial software and services, it can be concluded that almost all phases of product realization can be conducted through digital design and manufacturing software and services on the cloud. Finally, existing research gaps and related challenges to overcome are identified. The state-of-the-art review serves to provide a technology guide for decision makers in their efforts to select suitable cloud-based software and services as alternatives to existing in-house resources as well as to recommend new research areas.)

Simulation optimization (or optimization via simulation) is defined as the optimization of performance measures based on outputs from stochastic simulations. Although several articles on this topic have been published, the literature on optimization via simulation is still in its infancy. In this paper the research in this field is reviewed and some issues that have not received attention so far are highlighted. In particular, a survey of solution methodologies is presented, followed by a critical review of parallel computing strategies and commercial software packages. A particular emphasis is put on problems with discrete decision variables.
