AbstractThe approach of functional integration has the potential to solve challenges regarding lightweight design and resource efficiency since the number of parts and therefore the weight and needed installation space can be reduced. One important step in developing integrative concepts is the pre-selection of suitable functions or components. Previous methods of pre-selection take various aspects into account. However, pre-selection based on these methods usually requires additional tables and forms, whose preparation and editing quickly becomes time-consuming. At the same time, most of the development engineers are working on CAD models. However, their use in the selection of suitable integration partners is not yet supported sufficiently. The development of more than 80 concepts on five different vehicles has shown that the consideration of geometric properties (position, orientation, size) is effective, as they can be identified with minimal analysis effort while working on CAD. In this paper a four-step procedure is presented how integration partners can be identified directly on the basis of CAD models. A following evaluation with development engineers in practice completes the research.

Abstract. A long AE index time series is used as a crucial magnetospheric quantity in order to study the underlying dynainics. For this purpose we utilize methods of nonlinear and chaotic analysis of time series. Two basic components of this analysis are the reconstruction of the experimental tiine series state space trajectory of the underlying process and the statistical testing of an null hypothesis. The null hypothesis against which the experimental time series are tested is that the observed AE index signal is generated by a linear stochastic signal possibly perturbed by a static nonlinear distortion. As dis ' ' ating statistics we use geometrical characteristics of the reconstructed state space (Part I, which is the work of this paper) and dynamical characteristics (Part II, which is the work a separate paper), and "nonlinear" surrogate data, generated by two different techniques which can mimic the original (AE index) signal. lie null hypothesis is tested for geometrical characteristics which are the dimension of the reconstructed trajectory and some new geometrical parameters introduced in this work for the efficient discrimination between the nonlinear stochastic surrogate data and the AE index. Finally, the estimated geometric characteristics of the magnetospheric AE index present new evidence about the nonlinear and low dimensional character of the underlying magnetospheric dynamics for the AE index.

The computer programCRYC3Dworks with three-dimensional crystallographic geometric objects or groups of them and calculates their basic geometric characteristics by a simple click in the menu. In particular, this includes vector operations in both direct and reciprocal spaces and cell transformations. Collecting basic crystallographic operations in a single and simple program helps crystallographers to avoid looking for `fast-and-dirty' scripts or using large and unwieldy packages and may be useful in everyday work. When running the program in its principal mode, macro-operations are accompanied by a list of elementary geometric operations. This feature, together with the presence of a single-command mode and online help, may be useful also as a teaching tool.

Abstract Feature modeling enables the specification of a model with standardized high-level shape aspects that have a functional meaning for design or manufacturing. In this paper an interactive graphical approach to feature-based modeling is presented. The user can represent features as new CSG primitives, specified as a Boolean combination of halfspaces. Constraints between halfspaces specify the geometric characteristics of a feature and control feature validity. Once a new feature is defined and stored in a library, it can be used in other objects and positioned, oriented and dimensioned by direct manipulation with a graphics cursor. Constraints between features prevent feature interference and specify spatial relations between features.
