Physikbasierte Simulation im Anlagenentstehungsprozess - Einsatzpotenziale bei der Entwicklung automatisierter Montageanlagen im Automobilbau

The paper outlines potentials for an application of physics-based simulation methods in order to improve the development of assembly systems within automotive industry. Therefore, today's characteristics of development processes including the perspective of an automotive manufacturer and its suppliers are visualized by process charts. A milestone-based overview describes current time and quality constraints. Furthermore, potential industry applications for mechatronics, especially physics-based simulation methods are deduced and discussed in four promising use-cases. The use-cases contribute to the integration and broader acceptance of simulation methods in automotive industry.
