Abstract
Virtual Product Creation is a discipline for digital engineering in Product Development (PD) as well as in Manufacturing/Production System Development and Process Planning. During the last ten years, it became evident that the ongoing digital activities of Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) and ongoing product updates have also become part of Virtual Product Creation activities. Especially functional product updates via the delivery of software updates as part of intelligent products as well as algorithmic self-learning aspects as part of autonomous operations will increasingly influence Virtual Product Creation capabilities of the future. Virtual Product Creation represents a major part of the digital enterprise. This chapter describes the fundamental mechanisms and principles of Virtual Product Creation and explains the interplay of its principle solution elements.
