Digital Mock-up Process Simulation for Product Conception and Downstream Processes

Objective



Objectives and content

Current industrial practice in automotive, aerospace and other manufacturing industries involves the creation of physical product models (physical mock-ups) as a help to designers, manufacturing planners, etc.. The objective of the(se) project(s) is to depart from this practice and develop the technology that allows designers, manufacturing planners and even the management to work on Virtual Products / Digital Mock-Up's (DMU). They can make decisions related to the concept, design and all downstream processes. This technology will allow companies to work in a concurrent engineering environment independent of their size and product configuration.
To achieve this goal a cluster of projects including modelling, simulation, visualisation, etc. (see figure) is proposed.

Within this cluster of projects the objective of the DMU-PS project is to develop the technology which allows the designer to model and simulate assembly, disassembly, service and maintenance processes while he is designing products and subassemblies.

The benefits of this technology will include substantial reduction of development time (at least 10%) and manufacturing cost, such as reduction of Physical Mock-up's, and a dramatical increase of product launch quality.
It is expected that the process simulation technology will benefit not only automotive and aerospace industry but other industrial manufacturing sectors such as house appliances, machine building industry, ship building etc..The composition of this consortium includes end users, technology vendors and universities and guarantees the successful performance of the project.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
