The Role of Haptic Devices for an Efficient Integration of Design, Simulation and Analysis

  • Chapter
CAD Tools and Algorithms for Product Design

Abstract

Some evolution trends in the context of modelling and simulation are the following: the use of Digital Mock Up (DMU) in the design process, and the use of physically-based approach in modelling, and haptic systems as a means for enhancing interaction with virtual models. Within this context our research work intends to investigate the use of haptic devices for interacting with DMUs built on physically-based models. The purpose is to show the added value gained in using simulation augmented with haptic interaction, the technological feasibility of the approach and the usefulness in several industrial fields. In order to achieve that, we have developed a high speed approximated simulator, allowing the haptic rendering of complex physically-based models in real-time.
