제품 인터페이스가 복잡성을 더해감에 따라 제품을 개발하는 디자인 프로세스도 그 성격이 바뀌어, 아 이디어 도출 단계에서 이러한 인터페이스를 표현하는데에는 2차원의 그림만으로는 표현이 불가능하게 되었다. 제품이 어떻게 작동하고 어떤 방식으로 운용되는가를 설명하기 위해서는 그림과 같은 평면적 인 표현 방법이 아닌 다른 방법이 필요하게 된 것이다. 이런 필요에 의해 생겨난 대표적 방법이 바로 Virtual Prototyping 기술이다. 그러나 이러한 Virtual Prototyping 이 디자인과정에 있어서 중요한 위 치를 차지하고 있지만, 개발된 많은 Virtual Prototyping 제작 도구들이 제품 디자인에 바탕을 두고 개발된 것이 아니라 공학적인 기술구현이나 단순한 프리젠테이션을 위한 것들이여서, 대다수의 제품 디자이너들은 그 효용성에 대해 공감하지만 사용상의 어려움이나 적용한계를 이유로 Virtual Prototyping의 사용을 피하고 고전적인 방법을 택하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 현재 Virtual Prototyping에 사용되고 있는 각종 도구들을 디자인의 관점에서 분석하고 그 장단점을 파악하여, 보다 제품 디자인의 Virtual Prototyping에 적합한 개발 도구를 개발하는데 목적을 두고 있다.

To develop an effective virtual prototyping methodology for the PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) based real-time systems, a conversion algorithm from RLL(Relay Ladder Logic) to statechart is presented in this paper. The RLL is the main programming language to represent the operation of the PLC, and the statechart is the most widely used tool in the field of virtual prototyping in order to represent the behaviour of real-time systems. A virtual prototyping for an example case is implemened to evaluate the benefit of the proposed algorithm.

Internet becomes very common tool for communication and data sharing. Virtual reality(VR) on web browser, and virtual prototyping and virtual manufacturing is widely used in many engineering folds. The reduction of overall development process and error minimization during data conversion becomes very crucial where sharing data via Internet and VR. This paper deals with the advantage and disadvantage of VRML format used in RP(Rapid Prototyping), and a software for RP data preparation is developed. If VRML format as an international standard for VR, is replaced with STL format, the weak points of STL format can be overcome and the technique related to virtual prototyping and virtual manufacturing can be addressed more systematically by sharing the data. The system developed in this work shows a good window to get access to a more realistic observation of an object fur an RP system from a long remote sites in a more systematic way.

This work presents a virtual prototyping design approach for an area-based image stitching hardware. The virtual hardware obtained from virtual prototyping is equivalent to the conceptual algorithm, yet the conceptual blocks are linked to the actual circuit components including the memory, logic gates, and arithmetic units. Through the proposed method, the overall structure, size, and computation speed of the actual hardware can be estimated in the early design stage. As a result, the optimized virtual hardware facilitates the hardware implementation by eliminating trail design and redundant simulation steps to optimize the hardware performance. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, the virtual hardware of an image stitching platform has been realized, where it required 10,522,368 clock cycles to stitch two $1280{\times}1024$ sized images. Furthermore, with a clock frequency of 250MHz, the estimated computation time of the proposed virtual hardware is 0.877sec, which is 10x faster than the software-based image stitch platform using MATLAB.

Internet technology opens up another domain for building future CAD/CAM environment. The environment will be global, network-centric, and spatially distributed. In this paper, we present a new approach to network-centric virtual prototyping (NetVP) in a distributed design environment. The presented approach combines the current virtual assembly modeling and analysis technique with distributed computing and communication technology fur supporting virtual prototyping activities over the network. This paper focuses on interoperability, shape representation, and geometric processing for distributed virtual prototyping. STEP standard and CORBA-based interfaces allow the bi-directional communication between the CAD model and virtual prototyping model, which makes it possible to solve the problems of interoperability, heterogeneity of platforms, and data sharing. STEP AP203 and AP214 are utilized as a means of transferring and sharing product models. In addition, Attributed Abstracted B-rep (AAB) is introduced as 3D shape abstraction for transparent and efficient transmission of 3D models and for the maintenance of naming consistency between CAD models and virtual prototyping models over the network.

The primary goal of virtual prototyping is to eliminate the need for fabricating physical prototypes, and to reduce cost and time for developing new products. A virtual prototyping seeks to create a virtual environment where the development of a new model can be flexible as well as rapid, and experiments can be carried out effectively concerning kinematics, dynamics, and control aspects of the model. This paper addresses the virtual environment used for virtual prototyping of a passenger vehicle. It has been developed using the dVISE environment that provides such useful features as actions, events, sounds, and light features. A vehicle model including features, and behaviors is constructed by employing an object-oriented paradigm and contains detailed information about a real-size vehicle. The human model is also implemented not only for visual and reach evaluations of the developed vehicle model, but also for behavioral visualization during a crash test. For the real time driving simulation, a neural network model is incorporated into the virtual environment. The cases of passing bumps with a vehicle are discussed in order to demonstrate the applicability of a set of developed models.

At present, the virtual prototyping technology for complex product is one of the research and application hotspots in current simulation technology. In authors viewpoint, the virtual prototype development for complex product has become a systematic engineering, which can be called the complex product virtual prototyping engineering (CPVPE). In this paper, the architecture, key technologies and its supporting environment of CPVPE are primary discussed firstly. Combined with the research project and primary practice undertaken by the authors, a typical application demonstration of the aerospace complex product virtual prototyping engineering (including mechanism, dynamics, software and control system) is also introduced based on the virtual prototype supporting environment developed by the authors. Finally, some further research works on CPVPE are also presented in this paper.

Proposed in the paper is a V-FMS (Virtual Flexible Manufacturing System) model to be used as a prototyping tool for FMS design. The proposed V-FMS framework follows an object-oriented modeling (OOM) paradigm and is based on a set of user requirements for FMS prototyping. The V-FMS model consists of four types of object: virtual device, transfer handler, state manager and flow controller. A virtual device model, which corresponds to a static model in OOM, consists of two parts, shell and core, for reusability. A transfer handler corresponds to a functional model of OOM and it stores low level device commands required to perform job flow operations between giving and taking devices. The state manager and the flow controller constitute a dynamic model of OOM. The proposed V-FMS model has been implemented for a couple of linear type FMS-lines

프로토타이핑 시스템 설계에서 프로토타이핑은 실제 모델과 같은 초기 모형을 뜻하는 것으로 개발 초기에 시스템의 모형을 간단히 만들어 사용자에게 제시하여 사용자로 하여금 실제 작동시켜 기능의 추가, 변경 내지 삭제를 요구하도록 하여 시스템을 점차적으로 개선시켜 나가도록 하는 방식을 말한다. 그러한 프로토타이핑 기술에는 가상 프로토타이핑과 실물 프로토타이핑 기술이 있지만 가상 프로토타이핑은 실제 목표 모델의 구동 환경 요소까지 시물레이션이 어렵다는 것과, 실물 프로토타이핑은 다양하고 정밀한 제품까지의 시물레이션이 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 이런 가상과 실물 프로토타이핑 환경의 단점을 보완하기 위해 가상/실물의 연동기술을 통한 통합 프로토타이핑 시스템이 개발되었고, 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템 개발 환경의 재사용성, 유연성, 확장성, 그리고 편리성을 가지기 위해 가상/실물간의 연동 기법을 개선하여 컴포넌트 기반의 통합 프로토타이핑 개발 환경을 구축하였다.
