The main aim of this master thesis is utilization of the laser scanning technology in the field of information modelling of historical objects (HBIM). The optimal workflow of creating the information model in the Autodesk Revit has been demonstrated. The workflow deals with the historical value of the object. For the purposes of this work, the object of the mausoleum Fabara has been selected. Furthermore, the master thesis focuses on the possibilities of publishing the resulting model.

Thermal analysis of electric machine is one of the key steps in design procedure. Traditionally, thermal calculations are done by analytical method, mostly based on equivalent electrical circuit, where thermal quantities are replaced by equivalent electrical quantities. These methods employ so-called electro thermal analogy. Different approach is to use Finite Element Method, which is the main goal of this thesis. First part of the thesis is devoted to description of CAD system Autodesk Inventor, which is modern parametric CAD for modelling of virtual prototypes. This system is then used for creation of three dimensional model of brushless DC machine. Second part is focused on thermal calculations in Ansys Workbench environment. Model of brushless DC machine created in Inventor is transferred into Ansys Workbench and thermal analysis is carried out.

This diploma thesis deals with an atypical heated bed for FDM 3D printer. It presents the most commonly used ways of heating and the chosen variant of the heated beds are realized by powerful resistors. There are also discussed three ways of placement of resistors on the desktop motherboards that are modeled in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2016 and exported to Autodesk Fusion 360, where FEM calculations are made. Optimal alternative is made and tested. The test results are compared with the results of thermal simulations in Autodesk Fusion 360.

I dagens byggprocess läggs enormt mycket tid och resurser på hantering av pappersritningar och andra utskrivna dokument som är nödvändiga för att produktion och förvaltning ska fungera. Vid stora projekt kan det handla om tusentals olika ritningar och dokument som ska hanteras och dokumenteras vilket kan vara oerhört omständligt, inte minst när revideringar måste utföras. När ett BIM-projekt utförs idag så tappas en hel del av den information som modellen innehåller till följd av att det ska skrivas ut på en pappersritning, vilket i sin tur gör att mycket av informationen inte kommer till sin rätt. I dagsläget finns ett flertal programvaror med syftet att hantera BIM-modeller och andra dokument rent digitalt i datorn eller i surfplattan. Här har man kommit en bra bit på vägen mot ett ritningsfritt projekt men det finns mycket kvar att arbeta vidare med. Sweco Architects och NCC påbörjade under 2012 ett projekt vid namn ”Det ritningsfria projektet” som till en början delvis gått ut på att kartlägga vilka problem som kan uppkomma vid övergången till ett ritningsfritt projekt. Utifrån författarnas egna funderingar och dessa frågeställningar har examensarbetet formats. Med detta examensarbete vill författarna belysa att det i dagsläget finns ett flertal olika verktyg för hantering av BIM-modeller i byggprocessens olika led även om de inte är fullt utvecklade ännu. Genom att själva testa programmen utifrån given frågeställning kan svagheterna och styrkorna med programvaran kartläggas. Detta är viktigt för att vidare utveckling av programmen och de nya arbetssätt som dessa medför ska kunna ske. Förhoppningsvis leder examensarbetet till vidare arbete mot ett ritningsfritt projekt. / In the building process today, an enormous amount of time and resources are sacrificed to the management of paper drawings and other printed documents, which are all necessary for the production- and management-phases to work. In large projects this could mean thousands of drawings and documents that have to be managed and documented. This can be extremely tedious, especially when revisions need to be made. When BIM-projects are being performed today a lot of the information that the model contains are lost just because it has to be printed as a paper drawing. This makes it redundant to fill the model with that much information in the first place. As of today there are several software programs whose purpose are to handle BIM-models and other documents entirely digitally on the computer or on a tablet device. These software programs have contributed a lot to the movement towards the drawing free project, but there is still a long way to go. In 2012 Sweco Architects and NCC began a project named “Det ritningsfria projektet” which initially passed on to identify the problems faced in the transition to a drawing free project. Based on the author’s own thoughts and these identified problems the thesis has been formed. With this thesis the authors want to highlight that there are a number of tools for managing BIM-models today in the various stages of the building process, even though they all need further development. By testing the software available today based on the given issues the weaknesses and strengths can be highlighted and mapped. This is very important for further work with the software and the new work procedure that the software provides. Hopefully the thesis will lead to further work towards a drawing free project.

The continuously increasing demand of the customer requires equivalent response from the industry. This phenomenon of lean supply chain has also been seen in the paper and textile industries. TEXO AB produces customized weaving looms for the paper and textile industries. As every machine is redesigned to the customer requirements, TEXO needed to make the process efficient and effective. Once again the application of new computing technologies comes in handy. The practice of parametric design is applied to the TEXO’s FSX concept, which is one of the three weaving loom machine series supplied by TEXO. The frequent customization of FSX concept for each customer has created the need for faster redesign, better communication and quick order to suppliers. The automation is done on Autodesk Inventor using its iLogic and Shrinkwrap features. The parametric model is complete where all components to be customized are included. An excel sheet with design calculations, parameters and possible machine modules is developed together with the model. The feasibility of the automated design has been shown by the complete conformance of the model to the requirement. The excel sheet is very useful for improving the internal and external communications. After the completion of this project the redesign time is significantly reduced and the communication is simplified. It is also now possible to identify customization and module opportunities for future machines.

Final Report

The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) at Kiruna focuses on research activities in the ionosphere, magnetosphere, and upper atmosphere of the planet as well as the development and production of various sensors and detectors for space research. The test facility includes the IRF SpaceLab which is equipped with multiple testing equipment. One of the testing resources available is the Solar Simulator, which consists of a vacuum chamber equipped with four metal halide lamps that produce a spectrum closely resembling that of the Sun. When any spacecraft payload or instrument is exposed to the Sun and its radiations, the most important factors to consider are the type of radiation, flux, and how the exposed material will react. Thermal designing and solar balance tests are important factors in achieving expected conditions for different missions. By testing and verifying these lamps, this solar simulator can be used not only for IRF missions but also for other institutes and private organizations that can access it. The characterization of four lamps is done in terms of temperature distribution, radiation, and power. According to preliminary experimental measured values obtained from the setup, exposed material, and its properties can be varied and the best suitable coating can be selected that includes α (absorptivity) and ϵ (emissivity) valueconsideration. The thesis is divided into four phases: Designing, Manufacturing, Testing, and Analyzing. Before entering into these phases, the basic knowledge of thermal engineering and thermal simulation is acquired. Thermal modeling and simulations are done in Airbus Defence & Space’s Systema Thermica software tool. The design phase includes designing a frame structure and a 350 x 350 mm screen in Autodesk Inventor software. Manufacturing of the frame structure and the screen was done in the IRF workshop. This screen kept hanging with the support of a frame structure which is mounted on the copper table inside the chamber. The screen is kept in the field of view of each lamp and every lamp is illuminated accordingly. The analysis is done by measuring the temperature of the back side of the screen. Temperature sensors were mounted and clamped mechanically instead of kapton tape to avoid direct contact with the screen. The obtained values are analyzed and compared with the thermally simulated values. Pressure and the temperature of the system were monitored with independent systems throughout the test procedure. This thesis report could operate as a foundation for future examination of the solar simulator’s lamps in order to determine precise efficiency.

The purpose of this rapport is to present the possibilities in innovating or improving a product or service in the purpose of final thesis for the program in product development at Blekinge Institute of Technology.  The problem that was identified occurs during travel with bigger pet dogs in smaller cars where the capacity of the luggage compartment is not big enough to safely travel with the dog. To abide to Swedish safety laws the dog then needs to be safely fastened in the backseat of the car but with a big enough dog or a very small backseat issues can still occur. The prototype presented in this report is intended to be a possible solution to this problem and enable a safe and comfortable travel with big dogs in smaller cars.  The process to create a prototype consisted of initial sketches that were made to create an idea of how the product would be designed. These sketches were then used as a starting point for a 3D-model which was created using Autodesk Inventor. The prototype was designed to consist mainly out of an air mattress to create a product which is safe and versatile. The product was also intended to be sold together with an electric pump to create a fast and easy installation of the backseat extension.  A physical prototype was never created for the product which indicates that the prototype in this rapport is merely a concept. In order to further improve on this concept and create a consumer-ready product a real physical prototype would have to be made and mostly likely require further improvements.
