Title :
Direct interoperability between industrial engineering and AEC: technical and geometric challenges
Practical case study of the development of the Rhino.inside.TopSolid Plugin
Abstract : This paper addresses the topic of interoperability between industrial engineering and the AEC industry, via the example of a software tool developed. The research action is based on the ongoing Rhino.Inside.TopSolid plugin development, offering file-less exchange and direct real-time data flows, to offer direct communication between different software tools directly via their API.
The current state of interoperability is studied under three angles: The Data management system, the file formats, and the 3D Geometric model. The software development is exposed as a Case-Study of an approach to solving the problem, with details on the technical aspects and a focus on the geometric conversion issues, as an example of dealing with one of the obstacles of interoperability.
The study aims to present a tool that is capable of offering an effective solution to enable real-time collaboration, independently from proprietary file exchanges, based on Open-Source projects.
