A dichotomy exists in the engineering design process between 1) product teams organized
to engineer products collaboratively, and 2) the single-user architectures inherent in …

Taking thin gauge strip as an example, the deformation process of metal strip in bending roll
straightening was studied. Based on the theory of discrete, curvature integral and elastic …

This paper focuses on flexible context architectures for a multi-user GUI (MUG) that serves
several users engaged in collaborative computer-aided applications (CAx). Our work …

This paper shows a new and efficient collaborative intelligent Computer Aided Design
(CAD) framework in a theoretical study. While other collaborative CAD frameworks or …

In order to avoid errors in engineering design that affect the later product life cycle,
especially the manufacturing process, an analysis or evaluation has to be performed at the …

This chapter will introduce multi-user computer-aided engineering applications as a new
paradigm for product development, considering past collaborative research and the …

Purpose–Progress in theory building in the field of collaborative networks in manufacturing
is preponderantly seen in contributions from disciplines outside manufacturing science …

The increasing complexity in product development and the lack of knowledge exchange, for
example, between development and manufacturing lead to unnecessary iteration loops and …

Beim Gestalten legen die Konstruierenden eine Vielzahl der Produkteigenschaften fest,
welche Einfluss auf den gesamten Produktlebenszyklus haben. Daher verlangt ein …

During product development, changes to parts that are already built into assemblies usually
lead to the need to check the function and consistency of the assembly. This procedure is …
