  2. CAD standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAD_standards

    PDQ is a field of PLM relating to the quality of product data, particularly the geometrical and organizational quality of CAD data. Checkers, software that analyze CAD data formats, are often employed before and after data translation. The checkers can check the organization and quality of the data against internal company standards and ...

  3. Building information modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_information_modeling

    Building information model of a mechanical room developed from lidar data. Building information modeling (BIM) is an approach involving the generation and management of digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of buildings or other physical assets and facilities. BIM is supported by various tools, processes ...

  4. Glyph (data visualization) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph_(data_visualization)

    These visual objects are collectively called a glyph. It helps visualizing data relation in data analysis, statistics, etc. by using any custom notation. In the context of data visualization, a glyph is the visual representation of a piece of data where the attributes of a graphical entity are dictated by one or more attributes of a data record.

  5. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    Whereas in a conventional hand drawn technical drawing, if a mistake is found, or a modification is required, a new drawing must be made from scratch, the 2D CAD system allows a copy of the original to be modified, saving considerable time. 2D CAD systems can be used to create plans for large projects such as buildings and aircraft but provide ...

  6. Data and information visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_and_information...

    Data visualization refers to the techniques used to communicate data or information by encoding it as visual objects (e.g., points, lines, or bars) contained in graphics. The goal is to communicate information clearly and efficiently to users. It is one of the steps in data analysis or data science. According to Vitaly Friedman (2008) the "main ...

  7. Computer-aided design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_design

    A CAD system can be seen as built up from the interaction of a graphical user interface (GUI) with NURBS geometry or boundary representation (B-rep) data via a geometric modeling kernel. A geometry constraint engine may also be employed to manage the associative relationships between geometry, such as wireframe geometry in a sketch or ...

  8. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    These inventive artists and inventors were starting to use sophisticated methods of visual representation within their work as well as a methodical adherence to accuracy. His notebooks contained drawings of mechanical devices anatomical studies, and engineering projects that demonstrated his advanced understanding of form, function, and ...

  9. Virtual design and construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Virtual_design_and_construction

    "Virtual design and construction BIMs are virtual because they show computer-based descriptions of the project. The BIM project model emphasizes those aspects of the project that can be designed and managed, i.e., the product (typically a building or plant [and infrastructure]), the organization that will define, design, construct, and operate it, and the process the organization teams will ...
