Abstract: | Virtual reality (VR), even if it does not represent any more a novel technology, is one of the most powerful tool to help
designers during the development of new projects. This is proved by very numerous research activities related to this field.
In this research, we have studied a new way to approach the development of a product. We present the ongoing development of
a system, called VirDe, acronym of virtual design, which can allow the designers to perform the whole design process, from the modelling phase to
the finite element method (FEM) simulation analysis, in a virtual reality environment. This new method allows remarkable time
and money saving in the overall product design process, but the most important contribution of VirDe is that, as far as we concerned, there is no known similar approach which has been studying the simultaneous combination
of CAD, FEM and virtual environment (VE). |
