Introductions CEE214
First Assignment Stanford will host intensive multinational design charettes to address growing crises around the world. They need an iRoom in the Stanford Quad to enable close proximity to the dignitary quarters which will be in the surrounding buildings. Assignment: Design, Fabricate, and Erect the iRoom Due: October 15, 2009 Decisions … … CEE214
Just Kidding, but…. How would you gather and organize all of the people, tasks, information, materials, decisions, quickly enough to get this done? CEE214

Models • Purpose-built • Descriptions developed at relevant explicitly stated level of detail • Representation • Objects, attributes, relationships, methods • Reasoning to accomplish purpose • Satisfy constraints on relationships (e.g., wall supports roof) • Aggregate and elaborate information (e.g. quantity takeoff) • Simulate behavior (e.g., energy consumption) • Synthesize new design information (e.g., detailed field instructions) • User Interfaces • enable the inspection, modification and control of the models through 3D Visualizations, behavior diagrams, spread sheets… • Tested • validated on real world case studies CEE214
Representation • Objects named entities with: • Attributes • Relationships • To other objects • Constraints on attributes & relationships • Constraints on behaviors • Methods To set/read OAR, and to encapsulate behavior CEE214
Representation: Schema CEE214
Representation: Instance CEE214
What is Model-Based Reasoning Analysis of System Use compiled heuristics, mathematics, statistics, sometimes combined with human reasoning Examples: analyze building model to: • List components • Estimate cost • Simulate energy consumption • Plan construction • Identify construction interferences CEE214
Symbolic model of internal processing (Transparent Box) Specialized heuristics Input Models Output Models (Expert Systems) Mathematical/statistical (Black Box) Reasoning CEE214

In-class exercise • Develop an “instance” symbolic model that allows a contractor to identify elements and their costs. iRoom Product Model Typical Costs iRoom Costs Elements Walls Cost Items Walls Windows • Painted CMU • Cost / Unit $60 • Units Linear Feet • Cost Item 1 • Product Model Item = Wall 1 • Construction = Painted CMU • Cost = $600 • Wall 1 • linear feet = 10’ • Wall type = painted cmu CEE214
Course Objectives • Understand fundamentals of modeling • Understand state of the art AEC modeling tools • Develop novice skills using these modeling tools • Relate models to business objectives and limits • Learn problem-solving skills • Learn to communicateeffectively • Extend your thinking about engineering CEE214

Lab Practice building simple models. 2 hours in class, perhaps another hour or two after class Assume you know how to use basic windows applications and user operations. CEE214
Lab Use • Students use SUNET ID and password • Follow all Lab Rules - Clean up after yourselves, turn off lights • Limited after hours access to iroom • keys CEE214

Wednesday • Readings on website • Fundamental Modeling Concepts • Model scope and boundaries • Objects • Attributes • Relationships • Schema and Instance • Reasoning CEE214
Query 1: Next MondayChoose a Project Site We learn about AEC models by building them for a specific problem partially of your own design. An “iroom” to be placed within a context of your choosing, for a client of your choosing. There is no advantage to being elaborate with the selection of site and the point is to give you enough context to inform the models you build. Create a link to a google map of the site of your choice. Write • Write a project brief. Who wants the project, what are their goals, who else is impacted? What are the constraints? • You will build several models related to this project, so this context is useful for defining the model contents. CEE214
Query 1: Next Monday Build a model analysis • Follow the 10 steps outlined in INTRODUCTION TO MODELING AND SIMULATION Anu Maria Use approximately the same level of detail to describe one of the models I have previewed today (or describing a different model is ok too). CEE214
