Enabling Digital Mock-Up with Virtual Reality Techniques - Vision, Concept, Demonstrator
Abstract
Mock-ups and prototypes are very important for design avaluations. In the automotive and aeronautic industries, CAD and CAE systems are used more and more. There is a strong attempt to replace a great part of mock-ups with digital models - the so called Digital Mock-Ups. Many companies have started to evaluate existing tools and technologies, and think about, or begin to develop virtual prototyping systems for their own needs. In this paper, we present the idea of Digital Mock-Up which is developed within the ESPRIT project AIT - Advanced Information Technologies in Design and Manufacturing, and show the vision of virtual prototyping - the use of virtual reality techniques for Digital Mock-Up, based on the AIT-DMU-demonstrator.
