✦ Synopsis
many kinds of pattern and logic errors checked out in the conversion process. PALLEQ is divided into five functional blocks and consists of 17 FORTRAN programs. In this paper are described the general aspect of it, some algorithms used in it and its performance. It converts about 75 000 polygons into 5300 logic equations taking about 570 minutes.

CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
FICHET plots automatically non-standard steel structures H H Heyde (Fichet 5A, Brazil) This is a description of a CAD industrial application in a heavy steel structure fabricator in Brazil, South America.
Complex non-standard steel structure industrial buildings are drawn completely and automatically by a high speed noninteractive non-conventional "intelligent" automatic program.
A detailed digital mock-up of the entire steel structure of the building is automatically built by the database of the program into the mass memory of the computer.
Drawing programs take pictures of this digital mock-up, producing drawings that have the same aspect of the hand made ones, so as not to shock workers in the shctp. One draftsman can do the work of 100 draftsmen with the aid of the program, that has around 150 subroutines written in FORTRAN.
