This prevents errors resulting from the manual input of new data, ensures the consistency of data over several tools and provides a comprehensive view of project-specific data. It must be borne in mind that each design draft is presented in a variety of successive versions. This is an integrated project by Zurich University's database technology unit and the ABB Corporate Research Center in Baden-D ttwil in a format of cooperation dating back to the SPP IF programme. In the present case, the developed overall framework is applied as a prototype project in the gas turbines area. The work done by Zurich University will comprise conceptional solutions and the generic part of the solution to the problem, while the industrial partner develops the concrete solutions.
Close cooperation is designed to ensure a practice-oriented procedure.
