    IGES 2.0: gemeinsam stärker und weiter nach Europa

    No full text
    „Im Beratungsgeschäft braucht man heutzutage nicht mehr anzutreten, wenn man Europa nicht kann.” Nach diesem Motto hat der Eigner der IGES-Gruppe, Prof. Dr. Bertram Häussler, seit rund einer Dekade aus eigener Kraft heraus das Unternehmen mit acht europäischen Länderorganisationen – von Italien über Großbritannien bis Norwegen – aufgebaut. Nun zündet Häussler, Eigner der Gruppe, die nächste Ausbaustufe, indem er einen Großteil seiner Anteile an die athagoras Gruppe, ein ebenfalls international aufgestelltes Beratungsunternehmen im Health-Science-Bereich, überträgt. Das bringt der IGES Kapital für die weitere Expansion, vor allem aber Kompetenzgewinne in den Bereichen Zulassung, Marktzugang und Pharmakovigilanz sowie künstlicher Intelligenz (KI)

    Conversion of 3D data objects into IGES

    No full text
    This paper is focused on the conversion of 3D data generated by a 2d recovery program into IGES format, thus enabling it to be read by the IGES processor of a CAD system, Solidworks. IGES file format is highlighted, along with the various entity type involved in the conversion . C++ language, as the selected medium for programming the translator, is discussed along with the standard C++ library. The steps taken to create the translator are presented chronologically, initializing at creating an IGES file, and leading up to the final program. Results will then be analyzed and recommendations are provided for future developments.Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering

    IGES cost effectiveness study : usage of IGES on Air Force contracts

    It is the intent of this project to determine if it would be cost effective to incorporate the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) format on all U.S.A.F. Space Divsion solicitations, proposals and contracts (whenever technical data is to be transferred between Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing systems). Section 2 discusses the methodology selected in order to obtain the necessary information to make an intelligent decision. The current and proposed methods of CAD/CAM data exchange are discussed in Sections 3 and 4. Section 5 presents the results of a survey sent to the major prime and subcontractors of the U.S.A.F. Of the sixty one surveys sent out, thirty one (31) or 50.8% responded. The survey was intended to gain industry's perspective on the effects that a contractual requirement for the IGES format would have on their current and future business as well as their competition efforts. Section 6 discusses the vendor implementations and depth of offerings of IGES translators. Section 7 reveals the results of three interviews with CAD/CAM professionals directly involved with the utilization of IGES translators and their subjective estimates for transferring a drawing from one system to another (using IGES versus re-entering manually). Section 8 discusses the cost effectiveness of applying IGES version 2.0 as a contractual requirement based on the results of the surveys, interviews and literature research conducted. The final section concludes that at this time, it would not be cost effective to implement a contractual requirement for transferring data in the IGES (version 2.0) format on Air Force contracts.Includes bibliographical references (page 74)California State University, Northridge.

    Graphic Standards: IGES and PDES in an AEC Environment

    No full text
    The idea made a lot of sense: many diverse CAD systems communicating a common project data-base through a neutral format translator. The “Initial Graphics Exchange Specification”, kindly known as IGES (pronounced “I guess” by its proponents, and “I guess noti by its opponents) was the the initial effort, and is either loved or hated, there is no “neutral” ground. Has it succeeded? Has it failed? Is there a future in this neutral format business? Was CAD meant to be “design” or “drafting”? Does industry support it? What does it mean for architecture? Is a “one-to-many” translator a wonderful idea, but impossible to implement? Is a complete set of “one-to-one” translators a better idea?  This paper will give a short history of IGES, discuss its reason for being, list its strengths and weaknesses, examine its inner workings, and introduce the current effort of the IGES committee: a total “Product Design Exchange Specification”, PDES (and internationally as STEP). It will also discuss the techniques used by the PDES application committees to model their various products, and give a case study of the effort of the AEC committee in modelling an architectural “product”.  The paper will conclude with the opinions on the future of IGES by the author (a four year member of the IGES/PDES organization)

    The NASA-IGES geometry data visualizer

    NIGESview, an interactive software tool for reading, viewing, and translating geometry data available in the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) format, is described. NIGESview is designed to read a variety of IGES entities, translate some of the entities, graphically view the data, and output a file in a specific IGES format. The software provides a modern graphical user interface and is designed in a modular fashion so developers can utilize all or part of the code in their grid generation software for computational fluid dynamics

    IGES transformer and NURBS in grid generation

    Get PDF
    In the field of Grid Generation and the CAD/CAM, there are numerous geometry output formats which require the designer to spend a great deal of time manipulating geometrical entities in order to achieve a useful sculptured geometrical description for grid generation. Also in this process, there is a danger of losing fidelity of the geometry under consideration. This stresses the importance of a standard geometry definition for the communication link between varying CAD/CAM and grid system. The IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file is a widely used communication between CAD/CAM and the analysis tools. The scientists at NASA Research Centers - including NASA Ames, NASA Langley, NASA Lewis, NASA Marshall - have recognized this importance and, therefore, in 1992 they formed the committee of the 'NASA-IGES' which is the subset of the standard IGES. This committee stresses the importance and encourages the CFD community to use the standard IGES file for the interface between the CAD/CAM and CFD analysis. Also, two of the IGES entities -- the NURBS Curve (Entity 126) and NURBS Surface (Entity 128) -- which have many useful geometric properties -- like the convex hull property, local control property and affine invariance, also widely utilized analytical geometries can be accurately represented using NURBS. This is important in today grid generation tools because of the emphasis of the interactive design. To satisfy the geometry transformation between the CAD/CAM system and Grid Generation field, the CAGI (Computer Aided Geometry Design) developed, which include the Geometry Transformation, Geometry Manipulation and Geometry Generation as well as the user interface. This paper will present the successful development IGES file transformer and application of NURBS definition in the grid generation

    IGES NDC Database

    The IGES NDC Database compiles the main features of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which were communicated by the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in order to present the targets and measures that will be taken in order to implement the Paris Agreement, according to countries’ national circumstances. This database summarizes in the master sheet the main climate pledges from each NDC concerning mitigation, or how countries intend to limit their greenhouse has (GHG) emissions to lessen their impact on climate change, and adaptation, or how countries are planning to adapt to the effects of climate change. Other elements are referenced as well, such as financial and technological needs expressed in NDCs, countries GHG emissions, use of various market mechanisms and signatures and ratification of the agreement.**********This database is freely available for use.Recommended citation: Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Database, version [number], accessed on [DD/MM/YYYY].
