Monomakh 4.1


Monomakh 4.1
Size: 10.68 MB


MONOMAKH software is intended for analysis and design of monolithic reinforced concrete structures and structures with brick walls. It is possible to perform analysis of the whole structure or its separate parts and generate working drawings and reinforcement patterns for structural elements. MONOMAKH software includes several modules: BUILDING, BEAM, COLUMN, FOOTING, REWALL, SLAB, DIAPHRAGM, BRICK. These modules are integrated but they may work in stand-alone mode as well.

BUILDING module.
Model of the structure is generated from structural elements (STE). Loads are collected automatically, sections of structural elements can be determined and checked. You can generate 3D design model of the structure, perform finite element analysis and evaluate analysis results. Bill of materials is generated. Data may be exported to other modules of MONOMAKH software. Loads on footings are exported to DEF-PC and design model is exported to LIRA software.

Modules BEAM, COLUMN, FOOTING, REWALL, SLAB, DIAPHRAGM, BRICK.
Can be used in stand-alone mode or you may work with data defined in BUILDING module. Analysis and design of reinforced concrete elements. Analysis results in the form of working drawings. DXF file of the drawing and text files of reports are generated.

All modules contain extensive help system where you can find detailed information about options and tools of the module.

You can create and analyse design models of the structure in the shortest possible time and produce fully detailed reinforced concrete drawings with minimum effort.

Design first for 3D Artists


Design first for 3D Artists
2005 - 181 Pages - PDF - 5.33 MB


A useful book for graphic modelers. (2d and 3d) check it out.
Working on a project for most 3D artists means hitting the keyboard first without ever touching a pencil. But in the world of animation, the pencil is revered as the most powerful tool in the animation process, because it directly addresses the design aesthetic of an animated project. Production design is the process by which an artist establishes the tone for a particular film by offering a unique aesthetic vision that is in support of the story. As a 3D artist, to overlook design is to overlook the fundamental process that greatly influences not only the film itself but also your contributions as a professional. To combine the disciplines of traditional design and 3D animation is a choice that only you can make.

The result of this choice is a broader artistic skill set that increases your creativity and consequently increases your worth as a professional. Plain and simple, this book is going to teach you easy-to-use design techniques that will make you a better designer and increase your worth as a 3D artist. The most important element in any animated film is story and, as they say, story is king. The goal of a story is to take the audience on a journey through the lives and experiences of the characters within. Whether that journey is cerebral, emotional, or physical, the characters in that world should give the audience a point of view that is unique and compelling. As a designer, your role within a production is as an aesthetic problem solver who is there to support the story. As a 3D artist/animator, your role is to solve problems, but comes after the design process. Design and animation are two different disciplines that problem solve in two different ways, yet each has the same goal. What if we combined these disciplines into a single role that uses design to influence animation throughout the entire 3D process? This book is about that very thing. For those who are open minded about learning a valuable skill like design, this book will not only improve your animation work, but will improve your worth as a 3D artist.Production design for 3D animation is the process of using traditional drawing techniques to create characters, props, nvironments, color, lighting, compositions, and storyboards.

SOA World Magazine - Feb 2008


SOA World Magazine
Feb 2008 - 19 Pages - PDF - 2.61 MB



SOA World Magazine serves as the Internet technology industry's journal of first resort for technical and strategic insights on the new distributed computing paradigm that is transforming use of the Internet by business and by individuals.

Next-generation middleware exploits IBM System z specialty engines, redefi ning mainframe total cost of ownership and spurring expanded legacy participation in Service Oriented Architectures

Of all the wonders Service Oriented Architecture has wrought in the business world, one of the most valuable has been to unlock legacy data, applications, and processing resources for new and profi table use. Residing on mainframe platforms, such assets have been notoriously tricky and costly to change and adapt to new, typically web-centric, purposes. On the other hand, they often excel at the critical functions they have provided, typically for decades, and are highly reliable. Replacing them outright would be extremely costly as well as disruptive to operations that are com-monly mission-critical to an organization.
