September 11th Testimony
MSC.Software Corp has provided simulation software tools MSC.Dytran and MSC.Marc to a US Congressional Committee to simulate and understand the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings.
On March 6, 2002, Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, PhD., professor of Civil and Environmental engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, testified before the Committee on Science of the U.S. House of Representatives regarding his investigation of the WTC collapsed structures. His testimony included a series of simulations, developed in conjunction with MSC.Software using MSC.Dytran, of a 747 jetliner crashing into a steel structure.
"The tragic events of September 11th prompted us all to ask what we could do to help," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. "MSC.Software has a long history of working with researchers and governmental entities around the world to recreate complex engineering problems, including those dealing with forensics, in the hope of preventing tragedies like the World Trade Center collapse in the future. We are proud to have played a small part in the efforts up to this point and hope more governmental agencies will take up our offer to provide our software and services free of charge to any government entity investigating the attacks."
"Understanding how and why the World Trade Center buildings collapsed will help us prevent this type of building collapse in the future", said Dr. Astaneh-Asl, "To simulate the very complex issues and non-linearities involved in analysing the impact of an airplane and the ensuing fire you need the most powerful and advanced software, such as MSC.Software's simulation tools. The contributions of MSC.Software to our research program have been invaluable. We will continue to use these tools in our investigation to gain insight to what might have caused the collapse and to learn valuable lessons that can be applied in the future to prevent such catastrophic collapses."
The images accompanying this article show an analysis of the performance of a generic steel high-rise structure subjected to the impact of a 747 jetliner and the ensuing fire. The example demonstrates the power of advanced technology developed in aerospace and mechanical engineering that can be brought to bear on such a problem. Professor Astaneh has suggested during the investigation (which is still ongoing, with a fuller report due out in September this year) that a possible cause of the collapse was the buckling of the exterior columns of the WTC towers after being subjected to intense heat. He also investigated fracturing of the steel columns and the break up of the plane that occurred during the dynamic impact.
MSC.Dytran helps engineers predict how structures respond to real-world, high-speed events such as crashes. Typical applications include airbag deployment and occupant interaction in vehicle crashes, sheet metal forming, bird strikes on aircraft, explosive containment within aircraft structures, ship collision and grounding, projectile impact and penetration, drop tests, sheet metal forging and fluid-sloshing effects on structures. MSC.Marc is a nonlinear analysis tool for advanced engineering simulation. It can be used to simulate temperature effects such as during fires.?
Professor Astaneh's investigation, whilst focusing on the events surrounding the tragic collapse of the WTC due to terrorist activity, was put into sharper focus by more recent events in Milan, where a small aircraft crashed accidentally into the Pirelli building in the center of the city. Being able to forecast the damage that would be caused by deliberate, accidental or environmental events on high-rise buildings enables civil engineers to mitigate the potentially catastrophic results by modifying designs. Whilst not wishing to pre-empt the final results of the investigation it would appear that although considerable damage from such an action could not have been avoided, the eventual collapse of the building was entirely unforeseen.?
A comparison was also made about the efforts made, 30 or 40 years ago, by the National Science Foundation, funded by Congress, regarding the hazards of other 'extreme events' such as earthquakes and their effect on buildings and the subsequent loss of life. Research and engineering communities have been able to develop more efficient and economical technologies to mitigate seismic hazards. Professor Astaneh has been the Principal Investigator in conducting research on damage and collapse of several major buildings and bridges in the aftermath of earthquakes. The approach taken in earthquake engineering can equally be applied to investigation of damage due to terrorist attacks, as well as to minimising the consequences of such attacks. He argues that similar efforts are needed to counter the equally devastating effects of terrorism against the built environment.
Other comparisons with earthquake studies were made by committee member Dr W Gene Corley, the Senior Vice president of CTL Engineering, representing the American Society of Civil Engineers. ASCE has been involved in five recent studies, in El Salvador, India, Seattle and Peru, and, in 1995, examined the Murrah Federal Office Building collapse in Oklahoma City.?
Among the important points made, he stated that one of the main difficulties was in establishing, as accurately as possible, the physical attributes of the buildings prior to the collapse. Doing this, he said, was a monumental task. The construction of the building was documented by literally thousands of engineering drawings. In addition, there were numerous changes to them over their lives. Such data has to be used to construct detailed computer models of the structures. Besides the hard work involved in scouring libraries and other data repositories for the information, ACSE ran briefings for the investigation team using the principal designers to explain how the buildings were constructed.
A principal cause of the collapse of the Twin Towers has been attributed to Progressive Collapse. Dr Corley explained that the likelihood of such an occurrence is dependent upon two inter-related though separate behaviours - the event or load to which the subject is subjected, and the strength or redundancy of the structure. At present there is no rational technical basis to specify either the initiating event or to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative mitigating strategies, and there is a need to develop engineering-based tools to guide the profession in the future.
Dr Corley added, also, that while events like September are rare, fires in buildings are not rare. To improve the performance of structures in a fire environment will also require the development of new tools and design methods through collaboration between fire engineering and structural engineering communities for application to both new and existing buildings.
Further testimony by Dr. Arden L Bement Jr, of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), discussed progressive collapse as well, regarding it as the spread of failure by a chain reaction that is disproportionate to the triggering event - responsible, besides the WTC, for the large number of deaths in the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahama City.?
He admitted that the United States has not yet developed standards and practices to assess and reduce this vulnerability. He also stated that the problem for modern buildings is their smaller margin of safety - and the reserve capacity to accommodate abnormal loads - due to increased efficiency in the use of building materials and refinements in analysis techniques.

Solid Views
Version 16 of Cimmetry's Autovue enables user to view solid models over the web and provides a faster and more secure method of transferring model data from servers to clients.
Autovue is one of the most popular visualisation and collaboration tools available. Cimmetry's latest version, AutoVue 16, introduces numerous enhancements - the two most significant using Java to enable designers to download and work on solid models directly over the web, and producing 3D metafiles to speed up the transferral of solid model data to clients, reducing the size of files to the minimum required to view the model.
The new version supports a number of new formats, including EAI/HP DirectModel .JT format and Microstation, and enhances existing support for the major Solid Modelling applications. AutoVue 16 also introduces visualisation for the electronics industry, supporting EDA formats, and there are considerable enhancements to markup, including a Markup Navigation Tree. This enables users to navigate through the markups of collaborators, shown in a list of entities in a markup file, making sure that none are overlooked.
AutoVue SolidModel for Java Cimmetry uses the web's own language, Java, to provide a native, thin-client, 3D visualisation solution, with which design engineers can view and collaborate on 3D CAD designs directly within their web browsers. This simple, out-of-the-box solution relies on straightforward administration of access on the server, no admin for the client, and transparent visualisation of metafile copies of original documents, reducing security issues to a minimum.
Similar to AutoVue's Windows based product, users have access to native 3D CAD assemblies, parts and 2D drafts from all major software suppliers, and can single-click through entire assemblies and family trees, explode assemblies into component parts, manipulate 3D views, view multiple rendering modes and cross-section assemblies. Autovue 16 enables users to switch between 3D assemblies and corresponding draft views, and produce precise measurements of distances, angles, arcs and mass properties.?
Cimmetrys believe that, writing the software in Java 1.1, provides users with a complete 3D visualisation solution on the most widely known platform available - and does not require the thin-client user to have to download Java upgrades before he begins to use the software. Besides being the simplest method of collaborating through web browsers, the software is also integrated with EDM/PDM and supply chain solutions via Cimmetry's Document Management API (DMAPI).
Server Based Metafile?Rendering?
Autovue's SolidModel solution can also be used to optimise performance levels and speed up data delivery. Using Metafiles, it can reduce the amount of data being transferred between the server and the client by a significant amount. After the initial viewing session, when the model is delivered to the client, a 3D Metafile, from 5 to 15% the size of the original solid model file, is generated by Autovue (3D CMF) for subsequent streaming of data. The CMF Metafile, transferring data to and from the server in a continuous stream, has two methods of transmission - to accommodate fast and slow connections. As it is used to gradually build up 3D models on the client's screen, it can be interrupted in full flow - essential, should the client decide to change the view he requires.?
When bandwidth is not an issue, the algorithm cycles through parts in an assembly and requests data from the server via the CMF in 'chunks' - usually about 10% of the original file size, until the full 3D model of the part being viewed reaches full resolution on the screen. Initial views are in coarse resolution, which is improved as more data is received. If the CMF is about 10% of the original model size, and the chunks are 10% of that, only 1% of the original data needs to be transmitted for the client to see the initial view of the complete assembly, and only 0.01% to see the initial view of the first part (given a model with an average of 100 parts).?
The second method is more complex, and looks at the view parameters to compute the level of detail required on a part-by-part basis, only transferring enough data to accurately visually represent the assembly. If a part is completely off the screen, it doesn't need to be updated, and the data will not be sent. If the user zooms in on a part, a higher level of detail will be required. AutoVue uses a number of algorithms to achieve such a high level of interactivity, but the advantage is that only the amount of data needed to view a model is transferred, making considerable savings on the bandwidth and memory required.
Cimmetry say that Version 16 of AutoVue constitutes a significant enhancement over earlier releases, enabling them to offer, now, powerful visualisation and collaboration solutions for both Windows and Java platforms.

可靠的意見
Cimmetry的AutoVue 16版使用戶在網(wǎng)上查看實(shí)體模型,并提供了從服務(wù)器到客戶端傳輸模型數(shù)據(jù)的速度更快,更安全的方法。
AutoVue的是最流行的可視化和協(xié)作工具之一。 AutoVue 16,Cimmetry公司的最新版本介紹了許多增強(qiáng)功能 - 兩種具有重大意義是設(shè)計(jì)師能使用Java下載和直接在網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的建立實(shí)體模型,并制作三維圖元文件加快了堅(jiān)實(shí)的模型數(shù)據(jù)到客戶端傳輸,減少了文件查看模型所需的最低要求。
新版本支持一些新的格式,包括EAI/HP DirectModel.JT格式和Microstation格式,并提高對(duì)現(xiàn)有的主要固體建模應(yīng)用的支持。 AutoVue 16還引入了電子行業(yè)的可視化,支持的EDA格式,并有增強(qiáng)標(biāo)記的功能,包括標(biāo)記導(dǎo)航樹。這使用戶能夠?yàn)g覽通過合作者的標(biāo)記,對(duì)照標(biāo)記文件中的實(shí)體名單,確定沒有東西被忽略。
Cimmetry公司的AutoVue Solid java模型使用自己的網(wǎng)上語(yǔ)言,提供本機(jī),客戶機(jī),三維可視化解決方案,設(shè)計(jì)工程師可以在瀏覽器中查看和協(xié)作三維CAD設(shè)計(jì)。這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的創(chuàng)新解決方案依賴于直接訪問服務(wù)器上,沒有為客戶的管理,透明的可視化圖元文件拷貝原始文件的安全問題減少到最低限度,管理。
相似的對(duì)于Windows AutoVue基于產(chǎn)品,用戶訪問原始的3D CAD組件,部件和所有主要的軟件供應(yīng)商的2D草稿,并可以通過整個(gè)集會(huì)和家庭樹單,點(diǎn)擊,爆炸制成零部件裝配,操縱3D視圖,查看多個(gè)渲染模??式和橫截面組件。 AutoVue 16使用戶之間能夠交換3D組件和相應(yīng)的草案的意見,并產(chǎn)生精確的測(cè)量距離,角度,弧和質(zhì)量特性。
Cimmetrys相信,在Java 1.1編寫的軟件,為用戶在最廣為人知的平臺(tái)上提供一個(gè)完整的三維可視化解決方案 - 不需要受客戶機(jī)的限制,就開始使用該軟件下載進(jìn)行Java升級(jí)。除了最簡(jiǎn)單通過網(wǎng)頁(yè)瀏覽器的的方法的合作合作,這個(gè)軟件也能夠通過EDM/PDM 得到協(xié)調(diào)和通過Cimmetry的DMAP理論提供鏈的解決方法。
基于服務(wù)器的Metafile渲染
AutoVue的SolidModel解決方案也可以用于優(yōu)化性能水平,加快數(shù)據(jù)傳輸。使用圖元文件,它可以減少相當(dāng)數(shù)量的服務(wù)器和客戶端之間傳輸?shù)臄?shù)據(jù)量。初始觀看會(huì)議后,當(dāng)模型被傳遞到客戶端,一個(gè)三維圖元文件只有原來的實(shí)體模型文件的大小的5%到15%,之后由AutoVue(3D CMF)后續(xù)生成。 CMF的圖元文件,連續(xù)傳輸有兩種方法 - 適應(yīng)快速和慢速連接。當(dāng)它用來逐步建立客戶端的屏幕上的三維模型,用戶可以在全流中斷以防客戶決定改變他的看法。
當(dāng)帶寬是不是一個(gè)問題,在裝配零件和通過CMF的“塊”的服務(wù)器請(qǐng)求數(shù)據(jù)通過算法周期 - 通常大約10%的原始文件的大小,直到正在觀看的部分達(dá)到全三維模型全分辨率的屏幕上。原來的觀點(diǎn)是一種比較粗糙的解決方法,但是它隨著更多的數(shù)據(jù)被提供而得到改進(jìn)。如果CMF大約是原始模型尺寸的10%,并且大塊只是它的10%,那么只需要將原始數(shù)據(jù)的1%傳遞給客戶以看到整個(gè)集成的最初觀點(diǎn),另外只有0.01%用于看到第一部分的最初觀點(diǎn)(特定的一個(gè)模型平均100部分)。第二方法更復(fù)雜的,觀視圖參數(shù)計(jì)算細(xì)致的程度要求在一個(gè)part-by-part基礎(chǔ),只有傳輸足夠的數(shù)據(jù)才能準(zhǔn)確表現(xiàn)。如果數(shù)據(jù)完全不在屏幕上顯示,它不需要進(jìn)行更新,數(shù)據(jù)也不會(huì)被發(fā)送。如果用戶縮放一部分,那么一個(gè)需要提供更高的細(xì)節(jié)水平。 AutoVue的算法可以實(shí)現(xiàn)這樣一個(gè)高層次的互動(dòng),只需要傳輸少量模型的數(shù)據(jù)量,需要的帶寬和內(nèi)存大大減少。
Cimmetry公司說AutoVue的16版本,相對(duì)于早期版本的有著顯著增強(qiáng),為Windows和Java的平臺(tái)提供強(qiáng)大的可視化和協(xié)作解決方案。
