Collaborative Multi-Company, Multi-Disciplinary Jet Engine Design
This article highlights a concept developed to address the needs for a multi-enterprise collaborative design system. During the 4-year EU Framework 6 VIVACE project, a virtual enterprise collaborative framework called VEC-Hub was developed based on Eurostep’s server solution Share-A-Space, and Engineous' FIPER solution. It allows flexible addition or modification of partners and/or accommodation of tool suites. The approach demonstrates efficient support of evolving engine design for a realistic design problem in a realistic organizational setting, thereby alluding to its potential in similar high-tech design collaborations.
The feature article "Collaborative Multi-Company, Multi-Disciplinary Jet Engine Design Process" was published in NAFEMS BENCHmark Magazine, April 2008, Simulation Driven Design Issue. Please download the article.
If you are interested in more information about Eurostep's participation in the Vivace project or the usage of Share-A-space in the VEC-Hub solution, please contact Väino Tarandi, or visit the website.
