Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Interoperability is an obstacle in efficient use of computer aided tools.
Having to redo work previously done in some other software is inefficient and error prone.
Non-interoperable tools incentivize users to avoid doing the right thing.
In the best case scenario this is a major annoyance.
In the worst case scenario there are serious cost implications, because the product is not optimized properly.

The problem is often made sound much worse than it is.
The tools needed are available, but are not widely known and deployed beyond very large aeronautical and automotive companies.
This thesis shows that one can extend existing translators to connect Pro Engineer to MSC Adams.
This makes it possible to use both applications together to verify and optimize a model.
All that is needed is a small set of extra data that the current formats do not support.
This allows extra manual work to be eliminated and simulations to run unattended.

This thesis also demonstrates that when one automates the task of building simulations, then one can use the simulation software to rank, verify and optimize designs.
This frees engineers to work on higher value tasks.
It also ensures that the optimization task uses scientifically motivated convergence criteria in choosing the solution.
