Design resource management for virtual prototyping in product collaborative design

Abstract

Designers often have some difficulties in fulfilling complex product design due to the lack of design resources. It is a crucial issue that how to help designers to produce design from enormous, isomeric, and even distributed design resources of virtual prototyping and then ally those correlative distributed design resources to collaborative design. This article is devoted to an object-oriented design resource management for virtual prototyping in collaborative design. After the design resource unit model is proposed with the representation model of virtual prototyping, the object-oriented product design resource representation framework for virtual prototyping is then put forward. The storage, usage, search, version management, and security management strategies for design resources of virtual prototyping are then discussed in detail. The framework of design resource management system for virtual prototyping is also put forward to support collaborative design. The collaborative design of cold heading machine is given as an example, which demonstrates that the methodology is helpful to distributed knowledge reuse for collaborative design.

Digital twin-based sustainable intelligent manufacturing: a review

“…The current intelligent design system is not intuitive in the design process. Therefore, integration with the virtual reality technology and the collaborative design [157] would be the key research direction of the next stage.…”

Virtual Prototyping and Simulation of Multibody Marine Operations Using Web-Based Technologies

“…Vessel.js supports the simulations presented in the following sections, from virtual prototyping of a vessel to simulation of vessel behavior in operation. The simulations are based on a taxonomy comprising three sub-models: entities, states and processes [6,7]. The entity model collects data about the simulated system.…”

Social manufacturing as a sustainable paradigm for mass individualization

“…The SM paradigm needs new cyber-enabled tools, interfaces, tools, and methods to support the coordinated evolution (co-evolution) of products, processes, and production systems, 19,20 while at the same time supporting the validation of bounded design space, reliability and quality, manufacturability, and product safety constraints. 21 Other advanced analytical techniques such as on-the-fly evaluations and augmented reality technologies will also be critical to the creation of realizable highly individualized and personalized products. On the basis of CPSS interconnection, the next step is to source more advanced social intelligent technologies to realize the self-adaptive characteristics.…”
