“…Some of the studies use artificial neural network (ANN) and other approximation methods [23] to achieve real-time solutions. Interaction methods have been studied to utilize the simulation results provided in a VR environment so as to improve the efficiency of the analysis [24] and the design process [25]. Even though VR systems can provide visualization of the engineering analysis and simulation results in an intuitive and efficient way, there are still limitations.…”

Augmented reality (AR) has recently become a worldwide research topic. AR technology renders intuitive computer-generated contents on users' physical surroundings. To improve process efficiency and productivity, researchers and developers have paid increasing attention to AR applications in engineering analysis and simulation. The integration of AR with numerical simulation, such as the finite element method, provides a cognitive and scientific way for users to analyze practical problems. By incorporating scientific visualization technologies, an AR-based system superimposes engineering analysis and simulation results directly on real-world objects. Engineering analysis and simulation involving diverse types of data are normally processed using specific computer software. Correct and effective visualization of these data using an AR platform can reduce the misinterpretation in spatial and logical aspects. Moreover, tracking performance of the AR platforms in engineering analysis and simulation is crucial as it influences the overall user experience. The operating environment of the AR platforms requires robust tracking performance to deliver stable and accurate information to the users. In addition, over the past several decades, AR has undergone a transition from desktop to mobile computing. The portability and propagation of mobile platforms has provided engineers with convenient access to relevant information in situ. However, on-site working environment imposes constraints on the development of mobile AR-based systems. This paper aims to provide a systematic overview of AR in engineering analysis and simulation. The visualization, tracking techniques as well as the implementation on mobile platforms are discussed. Each technique is analyzed with respect to its pros and cons, as well its suitability to particular types of applications.

“…With the goal of integrating VR technologies in the entire product design process rather than only post-processing CAD models and FEA results, Ingrassia and Cappello [7] developed a system called VirDe, which allows the designers to perform the design processes, including CAD modeling and FEA simulation, in a VR environment. To facilitate the architecture students and practitioners' understanding of the structural behaviors of buildings, Setareh et al [8] presented an application which allows the users to build structures and simulate the effects of various environmental loads.…”

“…According to Fallman [16], VR is classified in to three different systems based on the sense of immersion or degree of presence: The first is desktop VR, which is better, most common and least expensive form of VR, this type of VR lacks sense of immersion; second, a semiimmersive VR system that attempts to give the users a feeling of being slightly immersed by a virtual environment and the third form of VR is called fully immersed VR, it consist of [18] HMD and this allows user to be completely isolated from the outside world. Ingrassia and Cappello [17] also shown the importance of VR for product development and introduced a new way of product development approach (combined of CAD, FEM and virtual environment) i.e. VirDe, acronym of virtual design which can allow the designers to perform the whole design process, from the modelling phase to the finite element method (FEM) simulation analysis, in a virtual reality environment.…”

Research towards a methodology which helps designers/engineers in conceptualizing, facilitating participatory Design and validating products during designing and development process becoming more important with the aim of reducing the lengthy process and errors that crops up during the process. In this kind of situation it is felt that Virtual Reality-Haptic is among the solutions to cater repeated physical prototyping as well as for rapid prototyping and reduces related cost. This integrated system of virtual reality-Haptic feedback interaction may enhance the usability evaluation of virtual products. Therefore, emphasis of this paper is to study the virtual and augmented reality, Haptics working principles and their advantage towards product evaluation. Through this study it was possible to understand the working principles of Haptic device and write codes/program using OpenHaptics Software development Toolkit in order to manipulate the virtual object which was prepared through CAD Software (in this research CATIA was used), thereafter, experimental setup with full system were established. After preparing questionnaires and virtual reality-haptic system, participants were allowed to manipulate the virtual object via phantom Omni haptic feedback device and compare the physical properties of different virtual objects. Finally collected data were analyzed and drawn a result that revealed the potential of Virtual Reality-Haptic system for realizing the virtual objects surface texture, size, shape, and weight.
