Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the field of computer-aided architectural design, inconsistencies between digital models of buildings and Special Technical Clauses (CCTPs) often lead to costly delays and miscommunication among stakeholders, as current methods are tedious and prone to errors, requiring frequent checks and manual intervention.
Innovation Solution
A method that provides real-time verification of consistency between architectural objects and CCTPs using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, detecting inconsistencies and allowing for automated identification and correction by relevant stakeholders, thereby ensuring data coherence and reducing manual errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual checking methods are used to verify consistency between architectural models and CCTP, then flexibility and adaptability are maintained, but productivity is reduced and loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical checking process with an automated computer-based system that uses algorithms to detect inconsistencies between architectural model data and CCTP data, significantly improving verification efficiency and reducing time loss
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-verification by automatically comparing model properties with CCTP requirements and generating inconsistency reports without human intervention, allowing the design process to self-correct errors
2Reliability
If frequent manual checks are performed to ensure consistency, then reliability improves, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs inconsistency detection as a preliminary automated step before final design approval, ensuring reliability by catching errors early in the design process without requiring multiple manual review cycles
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides automated feedback by generating inconsistency reports that highlight specific conflicts between model data and CCTP requirements, enabling designers to quickly correct issues and maintain both reliability and productivity
3Manufacturing precision
If detailed manual verification is conducted to reduce errors, then manufacturing precision improves, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses automated computer algorithms to perform detailed verification of architectural data against CCTP requirements, achieving high manufacturing precision through systematic data comparison while reducing verification duration
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies of both model data and CCTP requirements, enabling precise automated comparison of these copies to detect inconsistencies without time-consuming manual analysis of the original documents
