Usage of receptor (voxel) geometric models in the tasks of evaluating the ergonomics of engineering equipment of building structures

Abstract

The article considers the task of automated layout of engineering equipment in construction (mechanical, electromechanical, climatic and other auxiliary equipment of civil and industrial buildings). As part of this task, the issue of ensuring the ergonomics of the layout is investigated, by which we mean the possibility of delivery of installation tools to their places of use and the availability of sufficient space for their work. A new approach is proposed, in which the tool trajectory is formed from the initial position to the point of use, as well as the space required for installation operations. The set of instantaneous positions of a movable tool is modeled as a solid object that composes in a scene. The efficiency of using receptor (voxel) geometric models for this purpose is shown. They allow not only to easily determine cases of their mutual intersection, but also to form intelligent layout algorithms. The possibilities of using 6 digit receptor models are shown, which facilitates the analysis of the layout situation, the use of receptor models to determine the shortest distances to obstacles and the output parameters of the trajectory formation program in C #. The effectiveness of the developed model for evaluating ergonomics.
