  1. Robust Design Optimization in Virtual Product Development

    Robust Design Optimization in Virtual Product Development This NAFEMS publication reviews the state of the art in the application of Robust Design Optimisation (RDO) methods for virtual product development. Further valuable insights on RDO are provided in the NAFEMS publication “ How to Optimise Under Uncertainty ” by Mariapia Marchi. The authors surveys the rapidly evolving discipline of CAE-based Robust Design Optimisation that has been made possible by the phenomenal increase in computer processing power seen over recent decades. The complexity of component design originates from a number of interacting factors. The design engineer has to find a practical resolution to...more

  2. Product Data Management and The Engineering Analysis Environment

    Product Data Management and The Engineering Analysis Environment The document provides a basic introduction to Product Data Management (PDM) and Configuration Management (CM) for people working in the Engineering Analysis arena. It describes how the integration of all these areas could bring business benefits. Configuration management is the process for establishing and maintaining the consistency of a product’s physical and functional attributes with its design and operational information throughout its life, using disciplined change management. PDM systems are software applications that embody many CM concepts to enable users to manage product information and its configuration....more
