Abstract: |
Numerical
simulations have become crucial during the product development process (PDP)
for predicting and validating different properties of new products as well as
the simulation of various kinds of natural phenomena. Especially the
engineering domain (CAE – Computer Aided Engineering), is seeking for new ICT
solutions to cover broad ranges of physical simulations. Virtual Reality (VR)
has matured in the past allowing a rapid consolidation of information and
decision-making through visualization and experience. These new man machine
interfaces offer advanced interaction possibilities with the digital domain
and allow engineers to variate over several hypothesis.
This enlightened ideas to deploy VR for “what-if-scenarios” also in the CAE
domain. However, while CAD/VR integration has been sufficiently researched, the
integration of CAE into VR is still facing a long road ahead. Despite recent
criticism that the application of VR technology has been considered
unnecessary in CAE, this paper aims to refute this by presenting
methodologies for linear static FEM analysis allowing “what-if-scenarios”
within interactive environments. It validates the elaborated methodologies
and advantages of VR front ends by an evaluation performed within industrial
engineering departments |
