It is based on two different coherent polyhedral shape representations: a planar graph, used for computation and data manipulation, and a relational-database for compact store and general communication with application programs. The two representations effectively partition the system shape-space into active and inactive shapes, respectively. These are explicitly interchangeable by the user, keeping the actual workspace at a manageable size. The basic functionalities provided by the system include the combination of primitive shapes into complex objects by means of spatial set operators (union, intersection and difference), their modeling by means of scaling, rotation and translation, spatial interference detection and graphical display capabilities.","PeriodicalId":201443,"journal":{"name":"18th Design Automation Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121392195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional methods, bounded rectangle method, minimal spanning tree method and minimal Steiner tree method, result in either poor estimation or time consuming processing. Moreover, they do not consider the interference between each net and the technology influence. A statistical model for net length estimation has been developed to overcome these deficiencies. This model provides an unbiased estimate with 7 percent relative root-mean-squares error on an average.","PeriodicalId":201443,"journal":{"name":"18th Design Automation Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122901645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
