Globalized market competition and the development of information technology have forced enterprises to adopt suitable products development models. It is a hot research topic and has a wide application prospect and practical value that how to do both to ensure internal product development in mass customization premise, but also to achieve inter-enterprise collaborative development network. In this paper, product modeling, collaborative product configuration method, the configuration process and the collaborative design of products were studied, collaborative product development system - CPDS collaborative product development system." Web-based was developed. In this article, the work form of collaborative product development system, configuration structures of CPDS, and function of composition were main studied, and the general idea of system implementation CPDS was given.

Heterogeneous Knowledge

. Successful collaborative product development depends on the ability to effectively manage and share engineering knowledge and experience throughout the entire development process. This paper presents a distributed heterogeneous engineering knowledge management approach for the practice of collaborative product design. Firstly, a XTM based heterogeneous knowledge integration model in collaborative product design is proposed; Then, a knowledge management framework in collaborative design process is developed; Finally, a knowledge management system in collaborative design is constructed.

Discrete manufacturing companies practicing distributed product development encounter challenges creating digital products, collaborating cross functionally in an organization and throughout the value chain, and controlling and managing product information and product development processes throughout the product’s lifecycle. This paper investigates the critical capabilities of a product development system for distributed product lifecycle management (PLM). A comprehensive product development system consisting of PTC’s Windchill PDMLink (control), Windchill ProjectLink (collaborate), and Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire (create - mechanical computer-aided design - MCAD) is presented in this paper with use cases and examples as a software solution for enabling distributed collaborative product development.

Set Up

According to the requirement of collaborative product development, a networked collaborative design and manufacturing system is put forward. A neuter digital assembly model which is independent from all kinds of the commercial CAD software is set up. The quick planning of the assembly sequences and the automatic search of the assembly dimension chain can be realized by the simulation.

New Concepts

As the description of design requirements at the earlier design stage is inaccurate and vague, it is difficult to figure out functional structure of a product and make sense product configuration. Therefore, it plays an important role to formally represent the process of design for product development in the conceptual design stage. Furthermore, port, as the location of intended interaction, is crucial to capture component concept and realize conceptual design for multi-solution generation. Agent is considered as an effective approach to collaboratively implementing design problem solving and reasoning. Combining both port and agent may be employed to generate new concepts of the product in order to customize product scheme varieties. In this paper, the product module attributes are firstly described. The objective is to implement modeling of design process for obtaining system new concepts to guide multi-solution generation. Secondly, an effective approach to decomposing design process is presented to describe the process of structure generations and product decomposition by formal representation. According to properties of modularity for product development and component connections, we can calculate the number of component connections and density of components. In addition, product module division and coupling degree analysis are conducted, and coupling degrees are calculated by considering the correspondence ratio and the cluster independence. A port-based knowledge building process is described for functional modeling. A port-agent collaborative design framework is given and describes different agent functions to help designers to obtain new design schemes. Finally, a case study is presented to describe the modeling process of conceptual design.

Short Time

The expansion of the markets corroborated with product customization and short time to launch the product have led to new levels of competition among product development companies. To be successful in the globalization of the markets and to enable the evaluation and validation of products, companies have to develop methodologies focused on lifecycle analysis and reduction of product variation to obtain both quality and robustness of products. Keywords: Modeling, Evaluation, Validation, Design ProcessThis paper proposes a new design process methodology that unifies theoretical results of modeling stage and empirical findings obtained from the validation stage. The evaluations and validations of engineering design are very important and they have a high influence on product performances and their functionality, as well on the customer perceptions.Given that most companies maintain the confidentiality of their product development processes and that the existing literature does not provide more detailed aspects of this field, the proposed methodology will represent a technical and logistical support intended for students or engineers involved in academic as well as industrial projects.A generic methodology will be refined based on a new approach that will take into consideration the specification types (quantitative or qualitative), the design objectives and the product types: new/improved, structural/esthetic. Hence the new generic methodology will be composed of specific product validation algorithms taking into account the above considerations. At the end of this paper, the improvements provided by the proposed methodology into the design process will be shown in the context of the engineering student capstone projects at the Université de Sherbrooke.
