Transforming airplane configuration requirements into intelligent spatial geometry
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for designing an interior section of an aircraft to accommodate objects for said interior section of said aircraft, comprising:
- storing a digital definition of said objects as three dimensional volumes;
storing a digital definition of said interior section of said aircraft within which said objects are to be placed, said digital definition including parameters related to said objects;
storing a digital definition of a plurality of three dimensional stay-out spaces associated with one or more of said objects, at least one of said stay-out spaces comprising non-physical geometry associated with one of said objects, said non-physical geometry having intelligent data attached to said non-physical geometry, said intelligent data comprising requirements, at least one of said objects having at least two different non-physical geometries at least partially overlapping one another and having different intelligent data;
defining one or more collision rules between a first three dimensional stay-out space of one of said objects and a second three dimensional stay-out space of a different one of said objects, wherein said collision rules define whether said first three dimensional stay-out space and said second three dimensional stay-out space may overlap; and
determining the three dimensional spatial placement of said objects relative to one another and relative to said interior section such that said objects are in compliance with said defined collision rules, said object parameters, and said intelligent data.

Abstract
A system and method for knowledge based development of interior models for configurable spaces, including storing a digital definition of the interior section of the passenger vehicle and parameters related to the objects, storing a digital definition of a plurality of three dimensional stay-out spaces associated with one or more of the objects, defining one or more collision rules between a first three dimensional stay-out space and a second three dimensional stay-out space, the rules define whether the first three dimensional stay-out space and the second three dimensional stay-out space may overlap, and designing the interior section to accommodate objects based on the defined collision rules and object parameters.
