An initial building model is read in and a creator indication about the creator thereof is extracted therefrom. The creator indication is taken as a basis for loading a creator-specific object pattern library in which a respective object pattern has an assigned building element data record. The respective object pattern is correlated with objects of the initial building model by a pattern recognition method. At the same time, an object correlating with the respective object pattern is assigned the building element data record assigned to this object pattern as an annotation. The initial building model and the assigned annotations are then taken as a basis for generating and outputting an annotated digital building model.

Method and device for generating a digital model of a building

A method for providing an updated digital building model is provided. The method includes the following steps: a) providing a digital building model for a physical building, b) ascertaining a virtually accessible area within the digital building model, c) capturing real data obtained by a number N of data sources, where N≥1, wherein the real data include data from a real accessible area within the physical building that corresponds to the virtually accessible area, and d) updating the virtually accessible area within the digital building model by the captured real data of the real accessible area to provide the updated digital building model. This means that when there is a need to evacuate a physical building, there are updated virtually accessible areas present, and hence these can be taken as a basis for providing an updated evacuation plan for evacuating people.

Method and apparatus for providing an updated digital building model

Provided is a method for determining at least one region in at least one input model for at least one element to be placed including the steps: receiving an input data set including the at least one element to be placed, a plurality of conditions; the at least one input model; determining at least one appurtenant condition from the plurality of conditions; and determining at least one valid and/or invalid region of the at least one input model depending on the appurtenant condition; wherein the at least one valid region satisfies the appurtenant condition at least in part.

Provided is a method and a device for computer-assisted detection of building automation parameters of a building, wherein a first building automation having first building automation parameters is determined for the building, which first building automation is based on one or more classes of respectively local parameters. The classes of local parameters include at least one first class of static building data of the building, a second class of current weather data for the location of the building, and a third class of prior building automation parameters of the building. The first building automation parameters are adapted depending on a number of classes of distant parameters of at least one predecessor building, which is situated at a location that is different from the location of the building. The number of classes of distant parameters at the location or for the location of the respective predecessor building is determined.

Provided is a computer-implemented method for checking a route in a building for a mobile technical system, wherein a computer-aided spatial model of the building, a route for the mobile technical system in the building and parameters of the mobile technical system are read in, a boundary condition for the route is derived depending on the parameters, for a predefined point of the route on the basis of the model of the building a check is made to ascertain whether the building data satisfy the boundary condition at the predefined point of the route, and a result of the check is output. Also provided is a device, a management system, a computer program product and a computer-readable data carrier.

Method, device and management system for checking a route for a mobile technical system in a building

Method and apparatus are described for calculating a route for at least one object inside a predefined area or building. A suitable sensor system is used to determine the current position data relating to the object. The respective current position data is used to simulate a flow of objects. Respective updated route guidance information is provided for output devices in the predefined area or building based on the results of the object flow simulation. The current position data relating to the object are determined via the effects of near field communication (NFC), for example, via RFID technology.

Use of the occupancy rate of areas or buildings to simulate the flow of persons

A method for modeling conveyance or flows of material or other functional behaviors, particularly in the form of components that generate material actions; a method for modeling a system having components, particularly a postal item distribution system, and; the generation of a discrete component-oriented simulation model based on the modelings, particularly as a basis for components and/or system implementation. Modeling of each component is carried out on the basis of a flexible component model that takes the input behavior and the functional behavior of a component into account, and that two components at a time transfer discrete events or discrete material units to one another by using a general communications model, particularly by using communication types.

Flexible modeling concept for discretely simulating and implementing, in particular, material processing and distribution systems

A technical system is broken down into a plurality of subsystems, each of which is allocated a time-dependent distribution function which describes the probability of failure of the respective subsystem. The distribution functions are linked to one another to form a time-dependent system distribution function which describes the probability of failure of the technical system.

Method for error tree analysis

The invention relates to a method for the computer-assisted analysis of the reliability of a technical system comprising a plurality of technical components. According to the method, the reliabilities of the components are respectively described by a component function that depends on at least one parameter and a parameter interval of the at least one parameter, which is associated with the components and influences the reliability of the components; a system reliability of the technical system is determined from the reliabilities of the components; a variation value is respectively determined for at least some of the components f&, constituting a value for the variation of the system reliability according to the variation of the parameter interval of the respective component; and an influence quantity relating to the influence of the respective components on the system reliability is respectively determined for at least some of the components from the variation value.
