... and trying to understand how a product will best meet the design requirements. The input used to support these synthesis tools typically comes from simplified physics models or from trend analyses sourced from detailed design and analysis tools.
From page 100...
... Various methodologies are available, including partial Navier-Stokes, full Navier-Stokes, and hybrid approaches. Panel methods solve a linear partial differential equation numerically by approximating the configuration surface by a set of panels.
From page 101...
... Fracture mechanics analysis tools (see Damage tolerance tools) Subsystems Design and Analysis Environmental control design and analysis tools are used to define onboard environmental control systems and simulate their performance.
From page 102...
... During the design process, feedback from the logical design and manufacturing analysis process results in an update of the level-three schematic to include production disconnects or inline connectors that facilitate the manufacturing process. COMPUTER-AIDED GEOMETRIC DESIGN Mechanical Design and Analysis Kinematics and dynamics tools are used to analyze or simulate mechanical systems in motion based on the Newtonian physics of rigid bodies.
From page 103...
... Simulation provides a three-dimensional graphical visualization of the assembly process that includes engineering parts, design tools, hand tools, human models, and other resources. Assembly simulations are used to perform analysis of engineering data to determine interference checks and assembly variations to create an efficient repeatable process.
