From Embodiment Generation to Virtual Prototyping
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Embodiment Generation project at Cambridge Engineering Design Centre is researching the creation of software tools to aid the designer in the rapid generation and evaluation of feasible embodiment designs. This involves managing a large set of design variables connected by various types of constraints. Using a product model and a library of generic components, tools have previously been produced to support the specification and satisfaction of design constraints (CADET [9]) and the solution of kinematic constraints (Promech [2]).

Integrated Model-Based Manufacturing for Rapid Product and Process Development
The paper presents integrative model-based approach in application of virtual engineering technologies in rapid product and process design and manufacturing. This has resulted in integration of so called CAtechnologies and Virtual Reality in product design and FE numerical simulations and optimization of production processes, as digital prototyping of product and processes, from one side, and r...
متن کاملAn Approach to Virtual Prototyping for Product Disassembly
An important aspect of Design for the Life Cycle is assessing the disassemblability of products. A product designed for disassembly can be quickly and easily broken down so its components can be recycled or refurbished. The use of virtual prototyping is proposed to aid the assessment of product disassembly by enabling the designer to virtually disassemble the product. A virtual prototype is a m...
متن کاملAn Iterated Subdivision Algorithm for Procedural Road Plan Generation
The generation of detailed virtual environments is an increasingly resource-consuming task for videogame developers. This has encouraged the investigation of procedural techniques for creating content from landscapes to textures to—much more recently—cities and their constituent road-scapes. This paper introduces the Iterated Subdivision algorithm, a straightforward, flexible, and easily custom...
متن کاملVirtual Validation of Cyber Physical Systems
The increasing importance of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) yields new challenges for their systematic and efficient quality assurance. CPS are characterized by open and heterogeneous architectures and environments. For embedded systems, this implies a separation of the currently very tight integration of hardware and software components. Development and testing of these systems require new devel...
متن کاملEnabling Timing and Power Aware Virtual Prototyping of HW/SW Systems
We propose the concept of an ESL framework for timing and power aware rapid virtual system prototyping of embedded HW/SW systems. Our proposed flow combines system-level timing and power estimation techniques available in commercial tools with platform-based rapid prototyping. Our proposal aims at the generation of executable virtual prototypes from a functional C/C++ specification. These proto...
