Vehicle Databases

Import of databases possible

WallMan now offers several converters for popular 3D file formats, often used by 3D vehicle designers. The following file formats are supported up to now:

• Data Exchange Format (DXF)

• AutoCAD Drawing Format (DWG)

• Stereolithography File Format (STL)

• Nastran File Format (NAS)

All kinds of vehicles are supported: Trains, aircrafts and cars.

Simplification of databases

As vehicle databases are extreme complex and consist of thousands of polygons, a simplification tool was developed and implemented in WallMan. Thus, complex databases can be simplified by combining adjacent polygons to larger polygons. This leads to fewer elements in the database and shorter computation times.

This model is the German Intercity Express (ICE), used for planning the GSM/UMTS coverage inside the train and for train-to-infrastructure communication issues.

This is a model of an McDonnell Douglas DC 10 aircraft, used for predictions concerning the topic "GSM on aircraft". The model is made of about 10,000 polygons.

This model is a BMW 7 series car. More than 20,000 polygons are used to design that car. The tires are not shown, as they are not required for the predictions in that special case.

This model is the Mercedes-McLaren SLR sports car. More than 180,000 polygons are used to design that car.
