In case a set of railway vehicles moves on a rail track, the end of each car in which a coupler is installed produces a complex movement depending on the displacement of a rail track, bogie and a coupler. Especially, the movement of an end of cars is hugely affected by a radius of gyration and gradient of a rail track, vertical and lateral movement of bogie, and compression of coupler. In this thesis, I present a simulation technic for easy input and change of displacement of a rail track, bogie and a coupler as well as visualization of movement of the end of cars on a rail track using CATIA V5, CAD software.

It is very difficult to acquire high-fidelity flight test data for small airplanes such as typical unmanned aerial vehicles because MEMS-type small sensors used in the tests do not present reliable data in general. Besides, it is not practical to conduct expensive flight tests for low-cost small airplanes in order to simulate their flight characteristics. A practical approach to obtain acceptable flight data, including stability and control derivatives and data of weight and balance, is proposed in this study. Aircraft design software such as Darcorp's AAA is used to generate aerodynamic data for small airplanes, and moments of inertia are calculated using CATIA, structural design software. These flight data from simulation software are evaluated subjectively and tailored using simulation flight by experienced pilots, based on the certified procedures in FAA AC 120-45A and 40B, which are used for manned airplane simulators.

Virtual manufacturing (VM) is a powerful technology for developing a new product, new equipment and new manufacturing system, and three-dimensional (3D) simulation is a core technology in VM. 3D simulation involves both mechanical simulation and discrete event simulation. This paper introduces a case study of implementing 3D simulation for developing an automatic assembly line in a Korean optical factory. This factory produces a lens module that is the part of a phone-camera. 3D simulation technology is applied from the early stage of development. In the conceptual design and the initial design phases for individual equipment, 3D mechanical simulation using $CATIA^{(R)}$ and $IGRIP^{(R)}$ is conducted. 3D discrete event simulation with $QUEST^{(R)}$ is applied to the detailed design of the equipment and of the whole system. The focus of the simulation is to verify the technical and economical feasibility of the new automatic system. As a result, the takt time is reduced to the quarter of the manual system, and the number of workers in a line is reduced tremendously.

Recently, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) become a hot issue in the industrial fields. To prevent the potential risk of workers, various approaches have been adopted. One of the approaches is to improve the design of product, that of jig (or fixture) and that of workstation in the early stage of the development. 3D simulation technology is known as the powerful method for detecting such problems before constructing the workstation, because it is possible to evaluate the posture of worker using 3D models in a cyber space. It enables to find the unexpected problems and save the time and cost for redesign and rework. This paper introduces a 3D simulation case study of workers in an excavator factory. 3D models of products, jigs were developed with CATIA. The assembly processes were animated in IGRIP and DPM. Finally the various postures of worker were simulated using Human. As a result, some postures were analysed as the risky jobs and the result of simulation was used to improve the system.

The purpose of this study is 3 dimensional modeling of lower part of drilling system in offshore rig and simulation of drilling process. Recently, shipbuilding companies have been focusing on offshore rigs due to their high added-value and the reduced demand of new shipbuilding. In most cases, however, the basic design, installation and management of offshore rig are carried out by foreign companies. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the knowledge and information of drilling system. In this study drilling devices, BOP(Blowout Preventor) and cementing job and mud circulation related components are included as the main components of offshore rig. The structure and function of them were analyzed from a viewpoint of object-oriented technique. On the basis of this analysis they were modeled in the 3 dimensional structure with 3D software tool such as CATIA and 3DVIA Composer. The drilling process was simulated according to the scenario of drilling operation. This simulation system can be effectively used for an educational tool for students and engineers in ocean plant industries.

Tube expanding process is for combining a heat-sink plate with hair-pins (Cu-tube) through plastic deformation. The two parts, i. e. , heat-sink plate and hair-pins are they components of a heat-exchanger for an air conditioner. This paper presents the analysis and dynamic modeling of a high-speed tube expander which integrates transfer of parts, fixing of parts, and tube expanding into one process. The 3-dimensional modeling of all the parts for the tube-expander was constructed using CATIA$\circledR$. then the CATIA$\circledR$ models are transferred into visuaINastran$\circledR$ to execute the 3-dimensional animation for checking prescribed cycle-time. The technique presented in this paper has been shown to be effective as a priori tool for verifying the design of a high-speed tube expander.

The top spindle, end coupling and slipper metal are important components of the hot rolling process and are used for transmission of heavy rotational power. In this study, kinematic analysis is conducted using finite element method for hot rolling process under slipper metal combination types and operation situations. The structural analysis is performed by applying the combination type, rotational boundary condition of top spindle, end coupling and slipper metal. This study aims to minimize the mechanical problems which might happen in the production process.

An integrated machining center is developed for high precision and productivity manufacturing. The developed machine is composed of the high precision spindle using ball bearings, the high stiffness bed and the three axis CNC controller with the high resolution AC servo motor. In this paper, structural and modal analysis for the developed machine are carried out to check the design criteria of machine. The analysis is carried out by FEM simulation with using the commercial software, CATIA V5, ANSYS and ARMD. The simulation model of machine is made by shell and solid finite elements. This study also presents the measurement system on the modal analysis of an integrated machining center. The weak part of the machine is found by the analytical evaluation. The results provide with the structural modification data for good dynamic behaviors. And the safety of machine is confirmed by the modal analysis of modified machine design. As this study results can be trustworthy with the analysis of ANSYS and CATIA, integrated machining center can be successfully developed.

Virtual Manufacturing is a powerful methodology for developing a new product, new equipment and new production system. It enables the checking errors in design before production. This paper is a case study of virtual manufacturing in an excavator factory. The final welding operations of the boom and the rotating table of upper body are selected for application. 3D models of parts and fixtures are developed with $CATIA^{(R)}$ and 3D simulation models are developed with $IGRIP^{(R)}$. These models are used for verifying the design of fixture and for the motion design of robot. As a result, the manual welding systems are replaced by automatic systems and many design errors are corrected in the design phase, which reduces the developing cost and time.

Bulkiness and complexity of a ship structure make it impossible to examine the process of shipbuilding with a prototype in advance. The simulation provides a possibility that the shipbuilding process can be checked and optimized in the virtual world. The realization of the simulated result in the real world gives the higher quality and productivity in shipbuilding. For the effective simulation, the shipbuilding process was analyzed on the viewpoint of the object-oriented methodology and modeled by using the UML. The implementation of simulation was done with the excellent simulation tools, CATIA and DELMIA. The result of this research showed the way to the optimization of process and the improvement of productivity in shipbuilding.
