Resumo

This paper presents the new automatic system called AUTMOD3 for automaticdesign of modular buildings. The system permits to obtain in an automatic way, and withguided assistance the dimensions and position of the 3D and/or 2D modules that are neededto construct a building starting from the traditional architectural design. The system isbased on the well-known CAD system commonly used by designers. Specially developedsoftware modules, menus and libraries are linked to the CAD system. A library of severaltypes of modules assists and guides the designer through the process. It contains structural3D modules, 2D facade modules, 3D roof modules, etc. The selection of the modules willbe carried out responding to several production criteria: minimum number of modules,minimum number of different modules, module size limitation due to pre-fabricationprocess, etc. Other criteria are also taken into account: module size limitation due totransportation restriction, limitation due to on-site assembly, etc. The proposedmodularization system does take into consideration only technical aspects of the designedbuilding. Nevertheless, future developments will include some aesthetic aspects.
