Facilities of information technology in the construction graphics

Abstract

Constructional drawings (reinforced concrete, metal, wooden, etc.) are special in computer science because their making potentialities and the applied technology arc completely different from usual traditional methods. Application of informational methods shows that in computer science it is possible to automate standard requirements for both drawings and constructions. Besides, it is possible to assess standard requirements, the determinable areas of which arc very wide (for example, in metal constructions only welding parameters - seams, their fulfilment technology, marking, etc. - are very comprehensive and their application is difficult). The automation of these requirements is of topical issue because it would allow avoiding inaccuracies not only in designing, but also in controlling the created drawing. On the other hand, informational methods allow automating sheet information if a drawing is carried out without ordinary simplifications, applying drawings, visualizing by pencil methods (breakings, simplified markings, etc.). All this requires new working methods, which are particularly of topical issue in an educational process. In the article special attention is paid to the search of permanent and unchanging processes and to the modelling in permanently renovated information methods. Only modelling eternity, but not newness, can ensure both educational and general engineering fundamentality of training.
