Редактирование: Digital prototyping

Being the core of the concept of product lifecycle management ([[PLM]]), digital prototyping enables modeling reality on computer («digitally»), simultaneously taking into account several factors:

<ul>
<li>	Product design, that is, its digital mock-up ([[DMU]]); 
<li>	Knowledgeware with possibility to store and manage intellectual products (for instance, automated generation of geometric forms according to the given parameters); 
<li>	Engineering optimization by analyzing product behavior in its real environment – ergonomics, aerodynamics, structural deformation with the given constraints, vibrations, noises, etc.; 
<li>	Technological information, including the blueprint of the product manufacturing shop, process planning, simulating part fabrication from semi-finished products and assembly operations; 
<li>	Optimal production, taking into consideration the materials to be used, physical properties of the processes (stamping, welding, riveting, casting, etc.); 
<li>	Technical maintenance, including description of product assembly / disassembly procedures, product configuration and repair recommendations; 
<li>	Supporting [http://isicad.com/joint-work collaboration] between users and enterprises, participating in the same project.
</ul>
