Abstract

The chapter “Advanced Applications of CAD/EDM in the Automotive Industry”, offers a selection of concrete use cases in automotive development. One use case includes an application of knowledge-based EDM, which highlights the importance of the interaction of knowledge processes and data management throughout virtual product development. This use case also describes the integrated application of computer-aided design, simulation and management throughout the daily operations of development processes. Another use case describes the integration of CAD data management in automotive engineering, which is an essential topic in the area of engineering data management. Finally, a use case describing an approach of a parametric-associative concept model for initial vehicle development highlights the various working fields involved in automotive concept phases and introduces a model for geometrical and functional integration.
