Abstract:
An integrated template of virtual product development alters
primarily sequential tradition mode of product life cycle. The
template integrates all processes of product development using
digital modern. An environment of virtual product development
provides product development environment of integration, communion, network, concurrent
and collaboration. Combining development of new rapier loom, an
innovated design process is researched in virtual product
development, which
consists three portions: constructing
an integration development environment, innovation
design and manufacturing simulation. The innovated design
process realizes reverse design, mechanism
concept design, structural
design and analysis, performance
analysis and manufacturing process simulation of virtual product, which
can enhance greatly product performance and reduce cost and
development cycle of new product.
Key words:
