DEVELOPING A HIGHER-CYCLED PRODUCT DESIGN CAE MODEL: THE EVOLUTION OF AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCT DESIGN AND CAE

Kakuro Amasaka, Takehiro Onodera and Takahito Kozaki


To help corporations survive amidst worldwide quality competition, the authors have focused on the strategic development of a Higher-Cycled Product Design CAE Model employing a Highly Reliable CAE Analysis Technology Component Model. Their efforts are part of principle-based research aimed at evolving product design and CAE development processes to ensure better quality assurance. To satisfy the requirements of developing and producing high quality products while also reducing costs and shortening development times, the effectiveness of this model was verified by successfully applying it to the technological problems of loosening bolts and other product design bottlenecks at auto manufacturers.
