AutoCIS2 implements algorithms that automatically extract the geometry, position, and orientation of steel beams and columns from a structural frame described in the CIMSteel Integration Standards (CIS/2) format. The extracted steel member geometry and pose information can be used to program installation instructions for a kinematically smart crane inside a 3D virtual world to support automated animation of simulated steel erection operations. Due to the conceptual similarity between virtual pieces of equipment and robots (both need programmed instructions to execute an elementary set of motions), AutoCIS2 also demonstrates the efficacy of the CIS/2 standard in supporting the automated erection of structural steelwork. AutoCIS2 was designed and implemented through collaborative research with Mr. Robert R. Lipman (NIST).AutoCIS2 implements algorithms that automatically extract the geometry, position, and orientation of steel beams and columns from a structur...all »AutoCIS2 implements algorithms that automatically extract the geometry, position, and orientation of steel beams and columns from a structural frame described in the CIMSteel Integration Standards (CIS/2) format.
