This paper presents simulation of multibody manufacturing systems with the support of numerical tools. The dynamic and cybernetic characteristics of driving system are discussed. Simple prototype models of robot arm and machine tool’s driving system are quickly established in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software inwhich the whole specification of material, inertia and so on are involved. The prototypes therefore are simulated in RecurDyn- a Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software. The models are driven by controllers built in Matlab/Simulink via co-simulation. The results are suitable with theory and able to exploied for expansion of complexly effective factors. The research indicates that dynamic analysis and control could be done via numerical method instead of directly dynamic equation creation for multibody manufacturing systems.

Aided Design

The domain of Electrical Computer-Aided Design and Engineering (ECAD/ECAE) has been subject to major and rapid change over the past couple of years. Electrical Engineering Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools developed in the early to mid-1990s no longer meet future requirements. Consequently, a new generation of Electrical Engineering CAD systems has been under development for about a decade now. An overview of advances in this field is presented in the introductory part of this paper. This overview also sets the context and provides background information for the main topic, MCAD-ECAD-integration, to be addressed in the remainder of this paper. Many complex engineered systems encompass mechanical as well as electrical engineering components. Unfortunately, contemporary CAE environments do not provide a sufficient degree of integration in order to allow for multi-disciplinary product modeling and bi-directional information flow (i.e. automated design modifications on either side) between mechanical and electrical CAD domains. Overcoming this barrier of systems integration would release a tremendous efficiency potential with regard to the efficient development of multidisciplinary product platforms and configurations. An overview of the state-of-the-art in MCAD-ECAD integration is presented. In addition, associated research questions are postulated and potential future research perspectives discussed.

Since Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) is an important component of modern semiconductor manufacturing, a new framework is needed for microelectronics education. An integrated measurement-based microelectronics and VLSI engineering laboratory with simulation-based technology CAD laboratory is described. An Internet-based laboratory management system for monitoring and control of a real-time measurement system interfaced via a dedicated local computer is discussed. The management system allows the remote students to conduct remote experiments, perform monitoring and control of the experimental setup, and collect data from the experiment through the network link as if the student is physically in a conventional laboratory. The management system is also capable of evaluating of a student’s performance and grading laboratory courses that involve preliminary quiz and viva-voce examinations, checking of experimental data and submitted online laboratory reports. The proposed online TCAD teaching methodology will provide an opportunity for expanding microelectronics education.
