Abstract:
Aircrafts are fitted with a new cabin every five to seven years. Because each individual aircraft is slightly modified during its life span. detailed infor-mation to be used during the design of the cabin are rarely available. There-fore. many conflicts between the cabin and the aircraft's body arise during the actual conversion. While modern technologies. like 3D-scanners. are becoming more common. their comfortable use within the CAD-Workflow is often not possible or require extensive processing and additional work. This paper presents an approach. integrated into the CAD-workflow. to directly use pointclouds provided by 3D-scans of aircrafts to identify possible conflicts with the cabin already during its design-phase by performing a clash-analysis between the points and the CAD-solids.
