Abstract
In order to ensure the conformance of a structure to its original specification, to regenerate a structure in accordance with technological developments, or to compare a structure to another known structure, a process for analyzing an entire physical structure(21) includes a step(16) for executing set-based operations on subsets of the structure and producing a display of these subsets in statistical, structural or functional form. A data processing system including a first storage unit(1), a second storage unit(2) and an abstraction tool(14) which read-accesses the first storage unit(1) in order to replace the access to the data in a first area(MEMA) of the second storage unit(2) with an access to new data which gathers the data from the second storage unit(2), includes a graphical interface(7) for displaying the data accessed in the first area(MEMA) as well as the data accessed in a second area(MEMB) and in a third area(MEMC) of the second storage unit(2), an operator interface(5) for controlling the graphical interface(7); and first processing unit(8) controlled by the graphical interface(7) for executing set-based operations on the data accessed in the areas(MEMA, MEMB, MEMC) a…
