Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of collaborative design, and in particular, to a method and device for collaborative design and information submission management of multiple engineering design tools. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the field of architectural engineering design, it has become a trend to complete 3D design based on BIM technology. However, the industry's ability to fully realize forward 3D design for all specialties is relatively weak. Part of the reason is that different specialties use different types of 3D software to design projects. Due to the incompatibility of the file formats saved by the software, they cannot read each other's project files, and cannot achieve mutual linking or reference viewing, thus hindering design collaboration. The two widely used BIM 3D design software in China are Revit and Microstation. Revit uses the rvt format to store design projects, and Microstation uses the dgn format to store design projects.

[0003] In some design enterprises, Revit is often used as the design software for civil engineering common specialties, and Microstation is used as the design software for process specialties. The main content of 3D collaboration between the two types of specialties is to view each other's components and send and receive information submission. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of mutual recognition and reading of files across software. Currently, the collaboration method is mainly file-level collaboration, and the information submission model files cannot be mutually recognized between different software. To achieve better data-level collaboration, it is necessary to perform mutual conversion of model data between Microstation and Revit, and develop the function of mutual information submission.

[0004] In terms of mutual conversion and viewing between models in different formats, currently two methods are usually adopted in the market to achieve this:

[0005] 1. Use open intermediate format files that can be recognized by multiple types of design software, and import and read the file content through the method of linking / reference. The commonly used open file formats in the middle usually include DWG, FBX, IFC, etc. Among them, the DWG and FBX format files can only convert geometric graphics and cannot attach the BIM attributes of components; the IFC format file is used to define the description and inheritance relationship of building-related data, and can retain the attributes of components through mapping. However, due to the different standards and processing methods supported by different types of design software, there will still be some cases of loss of geometric components and attributes when the file is imported and exported.

[0006] 2. Export the file as a custom lightweight format and use a third - party viewer to identify and read the file content. Convert the file in the original format into a unified file format through a custom - developed program, and then view the content of the converted file through a web - based or specific application. The advantage of this method is that it can precisely control the fineness of the geometric components to be converted and the attributes to be exported. However, the disadvantage is that it cannot be imported back into the design software of the receiving party, and designers cannot collaborate in a unified design environment, thus reducing the collaboration efficiency.

[0007] In view of the above problems in the related art, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the Invention

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances for the embodiments of this application described herein.

For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0026] As introduced in the background art, the traditional information submission carriers in the prior art are mainly model / drawing files without component attributes and Office data table files. The problem caused by these information submission files is the fragmentation of graphics and data, and it takes a lot of time for the designers at the information receiving end to make comparisons to master the submitted data. To solve the problem that the fragmentation of graphics and data in the information submission files causes designers to spend a lot of time making comparisons, the embodiments of this application provide a collaborative design information submission management method and device for multiple engineering design tools.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] In this embodiment, a collaborative design information submission management method for multiple engineering design tools running on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0029] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a collaborative design information submission management method for multiple engineering design tools according to an embodiment of this application. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S101: Obtain the first intermediate format model file at the Microstation end according to the process model, and parse the first intermediate format model file at the Revit end to obtain the civil engineering common model;

[0031] Specifically, first, the process model has been created at the Microstation end. Then, the Microstation end converts the process model into the first intermediate format model file and stores the first intermediate format model file in the shared folder. The Revit end parses the first intermediate format model file to obtain the information for building the model. Through this information, the civil engineering common model is built at the Revit end to achieve the conversion of the file format from the Microstation end to the Revit end.

[0032] Step S102: Obtain the second intermediate format model file at the Revit end according to the civil engineering common model, and parse the second intermediate format model file at the Microstation end to obtain the process model;

[0033] Specifically, the civil engineering common model is created at the Revit end. The Revit end converts the civil engineering common model into the second intermediate format model. Then, the Microstation end extracts the second intermediate format model from the shared folder, parses it to obtain the model data, and then builds the model in the Microstation end based on the model data, achieving the technical effect of converting the file from the Revit end to the Microstation end.

[0034] Step S103: Establish the component libraries of the information submission components at the Microstation end and the Revit end respectively, input the information submission data. When performing model design, call the information submission components and the information submission data for design from the Microstation end or the Revit end, where one type of information submission component corresponds to one type of information submission data;

[0035] Specifically, establish the component libraries of the information submission components at the Microstation end and the Revit end respectively, and also establish a data table containing the information submission data of the information submission components. Then, the software will automatically call the information submission data according to the information submission components used during design to integrate and transfer the information submission in the way of creating the information submission components and binding the information submission data, ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and smoothness of data transfer.

[0036] For the information submission collaboration of cross - professional 3D design, it is necessary to identify and view the design components of the other party in their respective design software, and be able to obtain the attribute information at the component level, so as to truly help understand the design content. Therefore, the end - to - end format conversion function and the component - level component attribute data viewing function of the design software are very important points. The present invention can meet these two points simultaneously.

[0037] The traditional information submission carriers are mainly model / drawing files without component attributes and Office data sheet files. The problem caused by these information submission files is the separation of graphics and data, and designers at the information receiving end need to spend a lot of time making comparisons to master the submitted data. The present invention adopts the method of attaching an information submission database table to the information submission component to add and view the information submission content, ensuring the one-to-one correspondence between the model and the data and improving the accuracy of information submission content transmission.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment, the component attributes and geometric information of the process model are read, the component is parsed into a patch topology structure, and at the same time the attribute information of the component is read and written into the first intermediate format model file.

[0039] Specifically, using the API interface provided by Microstation, the component attributes and geometric information of the model are read, and the attribute information of the component can only be obtained through the patch topology structure. The attribute information will be stored in the first intermediate structure model file, and the general format of the first intermediate structure model file is the Bmd format. The files stored in the shared folder can be obtained and analyzed by other software, which provides convenience for the collaborative work of design tools.

[0040] In an alternative embodiment, the components and their attribute information are generated by parsing the first intermediate format model file through the Revit side; the Revit side automatically creates a family file using a family template, adds the family file to the project file, and then imports the project file into the project in a linked manner.

[0041] Specifically, an intermediate format file import function is provided in the Revit interface to parse the intermediate file, automatically generate components and the attributes associated with the components using the data, and automatically create an rfa file using a family template. These components are added to a new rvt file, and then the rvt file is imported into the project in a linked manner. To ensure the smooth progress of the import process, it is necessary to define the category mapping before and after component conversion in advance. The rfa file is a family file, and the rvt file is a project file. "Link" is a specific term in Revit, which is equivalent to an external reference in AutoCAD. A file is inserted into another file in a read-only manner and is visible at the same time.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment, the component attributes and geometric information of the civil engineering common model are read, the component is parsed into a patch topology structure, and at the same time the attribute information of the component is read and written into the second intermediate format model file.

[0043] Specifically, by using the API provided by Revit, the component attributes and geometric information of the model are read. Similarly, the components are parsed into a patch topology structure to analyze the attribute information of the components, and the attribute information is added to the second intermediate format model file. The second intermediate format model file is stored in the shared folder, and the second intermediate format model file is in the Rmd format.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the second intermediate format model file is parsed through the Microstation end to generate components and the attribute information of the components; a process model file is automatically created using the seed file, and the components are added to the process model file; a layer structure is established in the process model file according to the types of the components, and the relevant components are attached to the layer structure. Finally, the process model file is imported into the current project in a reference manner.

[0045] Specifically, a function for importing the second intermediate format model file is provided in the Microstation interface to parse the second intermediate format model file, and components and the attributes associated with the components are automatically generated using the data. The seed file is a specific term in Microstation and is equivalent to the template of the project. The seed file is provided by the software, and the user can modify and save it. A layer structure is established using the component type name as the layer name. In Revit, components belong to certain categories, but in Microstation, there are no such categories, so they are placed in different layers, and the layer name is used as the category of the component. "Reference" is a common operation method in the Microstation software and is equivalent to "link" in Revit and "external reference" in AutoCAD. It is to insert a graphic file as a reference into another graphic file. This function enables designers to reference other graphics in a main graphic, facilitating the management and update of design elements. When the designer references the civil engineering model in the process model, the two models can be combined for viewing. This reference method is read-only, so it will not cause modifications to the civil engineering model. To ensure the smooth progress of the import process, it is also necessary to handle the category mapping before and after the component conversion. For example, the equipment components in dgn should be classified into the mechanical equipment category in rvt, and the water supply points of the water supply and drainage and power specialties in dgn should be classified into the pipe fitting category in rvt, etc.

[0046] The Microstation model of the process specialty can be completely exported and can be lightweight loaded and linked into the Revit model shared by the civil engineering. At the same time, the Revit model of the civil engineering shared specialty can also be rebuilt and referenced into the Microstation model of the process specialty, and the attribute data can be viewed by component.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, when the component is a regular model, the length, width, and height data are exported; when the component is an irregular model, the Mesh data is exported.

[0048] Specifically, Mesh is a polygon mesh, which is a data structure used for modeling various irregular objects in computer graphics. Among the faces of the polygon mesh, the triangular face is the smallest unit of segmentation, and it is relatively simple, flexible, and convenient for topological description, so it is widely used. Therefore, mesh often refers to the triangular face. The data that records the size, position, and association relationship of these faces is the Mesh data.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, a corresponding data submission data table is established according to each type of data submission component, and the data submission data is stored in the data submission data table; an instance of the data submission component is added, and data submission data is added for each instance of the data submission component respectively. The data submission data is associated with the data submission component, and then the data submission component is exported as an intermediate format model file together with the model as a whole, and the data submission data is exported as an intermediate format data file; the intermediate format model file and the intermediate format data file are imported into the design file in sequence, and then the data submission component is reconstructed in the current model. The data submission component automatically associates with the data submission data and is displayed to the designer for subsequent design work.

[0050] Specifically, the component library of the data submission component generally includes data submission components such as openings, hanging points, embedded plates, equipment foundations, and common points. The designers who submit data externally manually add these instances of the data submission components (used to represent the data submission category, size, and positioning) in the design file, and fill in the data submission data for each component instance respectively, associate it with the data submission component by id, and then export the data submission component as an intermediate format model file (*.Bmd) together with the model as a whole, and export the data submission data as an intermediate format data file (*.Bdt).

[0051] The designers who need to receive the data submission materials import the intermediate format model file and the data file into the design file in sequence, and then reconstruct the data submission components required by this specialty in the current model. The data submission components will automatically associate with the data submission data and be displayed to the designers for subsequent design work. To ensure the smoothness of the data submission workflow, the present invention has a complete set of tools for arranging, reconstructing, positioning and viewing the data submission components and managing the data submission data, so as to ensure that these materials can be conveniently viewed, edited and used in the design software. In addition, for the case of multiple data submissions, the software for receiving the data submission materials will automatically compare the versions of the data submission content at the receiving end to ensure the authenticity and usability of the data submission data.

[0052] Additionally, when comparing versions, the materials provided in two submissions are compared. For example, in the first submission, 10 common points were proposed and replicated in the software once; in the second submission, 12 common points were proposed, including newly added ones, those with position movements, and those that may have been deleted. All of these need to be compared with the components replicated in the first time, including attribute comparison, ID comparison, etc., to prompt the user and prevent the omission of any submitted materials that are missing, newly added, or modified but not discovered.

[0053] Process professional designers can perform important operations such as hole detection, placement of submitted components, and export of submission data in the Microstation design software. The models and related materials of the civil engineering common specialty can be accurately imported from the Microstation design software into the Revit design software. Designers can directly view and use these materials in their own design environment for model layout and design adjustment, improving work efficiency and accuracy, and making the submission collaboration smoother.

[0054] This application realizes the mutual conversion of rvt and dgn format files by exporting intermediate format model files and replicating the model during import. And by manually arranging and replicating the submitted components and associating the submission data, it realizes three-dimensional submission collaboration. The present invention realizes cross-professional three-dimensional design submission collaboration, enables the identification and viewing of each other's design components in their respective design software, and can obtain component-level attribute information to help designers truly understand the design content. The present invention adopts the method of attaching a submission database table to the submitted components to add and view submission content, ensuring the one-to-one correspondence between the model and the data, and improving the accuracy of submission content transfer.

[0055] The embodiment of the present application also provides a collaborative design submission management device for multiple engineering design tools.

When the program runs, it controls the device where the computer - readable storage medium is located to execute the data submission management method for collaborative design of multiple engineering design tools.

[0068] Specifically, a data submission management method for collaborative design of multiple engineering design tools includes:

[0069] Step S101: Obtain a first intermediate - format model file at the Microstation end according to the process model, and parse the first intermediate - format model file through the Revit end to obtain a civil engineering common model;

[0070] Specifically, first, a process model has been created on the Microstation side. Then, the Microstation side converts the process model into a first intermediate format model file and stores the first intermediate format model file in a shared folder. The Revit side parses the first intermediate format model file to obtain the information for building the model. Based on this information, a civil engineering common model is built on the Revit side to achieve the conversion of the file format from the Microstation side to the Revit side.

[0071] Step S102: Obtain a second intermediate format model file on the Revit side based on the civil engineering common model, and parse the second intermediate format model file through the Microstation side to obtain the process model.

[0072] Specifically, a civil engineering common model is created on the Revit side. The Revit side converts the civil engineering common model into a second intermediate format model. Then, the Microstation side extracts the second intermediate format model from the shared folder, parses it to obtain the model data, and then builds a model on the Microstation side based on the model data, achieving the technical effect of converting files from the Revit side to the Microstation side.

[0073] Step S103: Establish a component library of information submission components on the Microstation side and the Revit side respectively, input information submission data. When conducting model design, call the information submission components and information submission data for design from the Microstation side or the Revit side, where one type of information submission component corresponds to one type of information submission data.

[0074] Specifically, establish a component library of information submission components on the Microstation side and the Revit side respectively, and also establish a data table containing the information submission data of the information submission components. Then, when the software conducts design, it automatically calls the information submission data according to the information submission components used, and integrates and transmits the information submission in the way of creating information submission components and binding information submission data, ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and smooth coordination of data transmission.

[0075] For the information submission collaboration of cross - professional 3D design, it is necessary to identify and view the design components of the other party in their respective design software, and be able to obtain the attribute information at the component level, so as to truly help understand the design content. Therefore, the end - to - end format conversion function and the component - level component attribute data viewing function of the design software are very important points. The present invention can meet these two points simultaneously.

[0076] The traditional information submission carriers are mainly model / drawing files without component attributes and Office data sheet files. The problem caused by these information submission files is the separation of graphics and data, and designers at the information receiving end need to spend a lot of time making comparisons to master the submitted data.

[0079] Optionally, read the component attributes and geometric information of the civil engineering common model, parse the component into a patch topology structure, and at the same time read the attribute information of the component and write the attribute information into the second intermediate format model file.

[0080] Optionally, generate components and their attribute information by parsing the second intermediate format model file through the Microstation side; automatically create a process model file using a seed file, add the components to the process model file; establish a layer structure in the process model file according to the type of the components, attach the relevant components to the layer structure, and finally import the process model file into the current project in a reference manner.

[0083] An embodiment of the present invention provides a processor, which is used to run a program. When the program runs, it executes the above-mentioned collaborative design information submission management method for multiple engineering design tools.

[0084] Specifically, a method for collaborative design information submission management of multiple engineering design tools includes:

[0085] Step S101: Obtain a first intermediate format model file at the Microstation end based on the process model, and parse the first intermediate format model file at the Revit end to obtain a civil engineering common model;

[0086] Specifically, first, the process model has been created at the Microstation end. Then, the Microstation end converts the process model into a first intermediate format model file and stores the first intermediate format model file in a shared folder. The Revit end parses the first intermediate format model file, obtains the information for building the model, and based on this information, builds a civil engineering common model at the Revit end to achieve the conversion of the file format from the Microstation end to the Revit end.

[0087] Step S102: Obtain a second intermediate format model file at the Revit end based on the civil engineering common model, and parse the second intermediate format model file at the Microstation end to obtain a process model;

[0088] Specifically, create a civil engineering common model at the Revit end. The Revit end converts the civil engineering common model into a second intermediate format model. Then, the Microstation end extracts the second intermediate format model from the shared folder, parses it to obtain the model data, and based on the model data, builds a model at the Microstation end, achieving the technical effect of converting the file from the Revit end to the Microstation end.

[0089] Step S103: Establish component libraries of information submission components at the Microstation end and the Revit end respectively, input information submission data, and when performing model design, call the information submission components and information submission data from the Microstation end or the Revit end for design, where one type of information submission component corresponds to one type of information submission data;

[0090] Specifically, establish component libraries of information submission components at the Microstation end and the Revit end respectively, and also establish a data table containing the information submission data of the information submission components. Then, the software automatically calls the information submission data according to the information submission components used during design to integrate and transfer the information submission in the way of creating information submission components and binding information submission data, ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and smooth coordination of data transfer.

[0091] For cross - professional 3D design information submission and collaboration, it is necessary to identify and view the design components of the other party in their respective design software, and be able to obtain the attribute information at the component level, so as to truly help understand the design content. Therefore, the end - to - end format conversion function of the design software and the component - level component attribute data viewing function are very important points. The present invention can meet these two points simultaneously.

[0092] Traditional information submission carriers are mainly model / drawing files without component attributes and Office data table files. The problem caused by these information submission files is the separation of graphics and data, and it takes a lot of time for the designers at the information receiving end to make comparisons to master the submitted data. The present invention adopts the method of attaching an information submission database table to the information submission components to add and view the information submission content, ensuring the one - to - one correspondence between the model and the data and improving the accuracy of the information submission content transfer.

[0093] Optionally, read the component attributes and geometric information of the process model, parse the component into a patch topology structure, and at the same time read the attribute information of the component and write the attribute information into the first intermediate format model file.

[0094] Optionally, generate components and their attribute information by parsing the first intermediate format model file through the Revit end; the Revit end automatically creates a family file using a family template, adds the family file to the project file, and then imports the project file into the project in a linked manner.

[0095] Optionally, read the component attributes and geometric information of the civil engineering common model, parse the component into a patch topology structure, and at the same time read the attribute information of the component and write the attribute information into the second intermediate format model file.

[0096] Optionally, generate components and their attribute information by parsing the second intermediate format model file through the Microstation end; automatically create a process model file using a seed file, add the components to the process model file; establish a layer structure in the process model file according to the type of the components, attach the relevant components to the layer structure, and finally import the process model file into the current project in a reference manner.

[0097] Optionally, when the component is a regular model, export the length, width, and height data; when the component is an irregular model, export the Mesh data.

[0098] Optionally, corresponding data sheets for providing information are established according to each type of information-providing component, and the information-providing data is stored in the information-providing data sheets; instances of the information-providing components are added, and information-providing data is added for each instance of the information-providing component respectively. The information-providing data is associated with the information-providing component, and then the information-providing component is exported as an intermediate format model file together with the whole model, and the information-providing data is exported as an intermediate format data file; the intermediate format model file and the intermediate format data file are imported successively into the design file, and then the information-providing component is reconstructed in the current model. The information-providing component is automatically associated with the information-providing data and displayed to the designer for subsequent design work.
