Optimization of a Constructional Form of Technical Objects Using Advanced Engineering Environment

Abstract

Development of advanced engineering environment software allows changing the design process of complex technical means. This situation correlates with the increasing process of new product elaboration what results from the dynamically changing demand on a new market offer. It is important to elaborate the methodology of a designing process that improves and enriches the design process in an advanced engineering design. One of the most serious challenges is to elaborate the optimization methodology for the designing process of complex technical means. It should include both the requirements resulting from different social aspects of a technical mean existence and from different phases of its life cycle. The paper presents the integrative approach to the design process. It includes different types of design requirements integrating them in a design process. It allows obtaining optimized constructional solution. The method is illustrated using such advanced engineering environment like Siemens NX 8.5 software. It is also proposed the conception of object analysis that adding the design process.
