Abstract
Comprehensive computer support for engineering activities in product design and manufacturing has been developed, and effectively used in industry for reducing product development lead time and enhancing total product quality. However due to rapid increase of product complexity, the product design process becomes very complicated, and technological errors in product development phases and subsequent product failures have now become a big issue. Current product modelling technology is not sufficient for coping with this issue because of the lack of accurate product behaviour prediction in practical environment. This paper surveys recent progress of virtual manufacturing, and clarifies various issues for product modelling. A new approach for product behaviour prediction under various disturbances is shown, and its applications for product quality evaluation and design are discussed.
