On the Creation of a Unified Modeling Language Based Collaborative Virtual Assembly/disassembly System
نویسنده
چکیده
Design For Assembly/disassembly (DFA) allows systematic evaluations and analysis of product assembly and disassembly during the product design stage with the goal of reducing assembly costs, improving quality and shortening time to market. These evaluations include assemblability, disassemblability, part accessibility, and part layout [1]. With the growing availability and widespread use of high bandwidth network and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, the issues involved with product assembly, disassembly may be addressed and resolved effectively in a collaborative virtual environment over the Internet. In this paper, an analysis on the framework and definition of a collaborative virtual assembly and disassembly system, called Motive3D [2, 3], is introduced and examined using Unified Modeling Language (UML) [4]. UML is an Object Management Group’s (OMG) standard for objectoriented analysis and software design method, which allows specifying, constructing, visualizing, and documenting a distributed software-intensive system. Carrying out systematic analysis on the Motive3D system using UML, we believe that it expedites system development and will be possible to expedite the product design cycle and enable the assembly and disassembly process over Internet, and thus reduce the assembly and disassembly process bottlenecks.

Assembly Simulation on Collaborative Haptic Virtual Environments
Currently, Virtual Environments (VEs) are used within engineering industry: physical prototypes or mock-ups are replaced by virtual prototypes. Increasingly, these VEs also allow designers and engineers to carry out assembly/disassembly processes and assembly sequences before any physical prototype is built. Moreover, different designers or engineers, which may be situated in the same or in geo...
متن کاملA proposal for collaborative virtual environments architecture using internet patterns
Most of the problems related to Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) involve communication support, which should allow any update to the interface to be quickly noticed by other users. To minimize these difficulties, this paper proposes architecture for the communication support on CVE. The goal is to allow the developer not to worry so much about the communication layer during the developm...
متن کاملFeature Technology and Ontology for Embedded System Design and Development
In this paper, we present our recent effort on using a feature technology and ontology for embedded systems modeling and design. We present an overview of embedded system design and propose an object-oriented UML modeling approach to representing embedded systems, i.e., open embedded system model (OESM). OESM supports models of embedded system artifacts, components, features, configuration/asse...

Correspnding author, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT An embedded system is a hybrid of hardware and softwarethat combines software flexibility and hardware real-time performance. The co-design of hardware and software is the most critical but difficult issue in embedded system design. In this paper, we propose a novel feature-based approach to the codesign of hardware and software in embedded ...
متن کاملTask-Level Assembly Modeling in Virtual Environments
This contribution introduces a new framework for assembly modeling in Virtual Reality. Aiming at an easy instructability of the virtual environment, the framework provides a task-level interface which directly maps logical assembly commands to corresponding changes in the geometry scene. For example, the visual assembly of two parts is achieved given only a single command 'connect(a,b)'. This i...
