Abstract
The concept of virtual prototyping evolved out of a desire to
eliminate physical prototyping. The term has now been
extended to include all activities related to the computational
tasks involved during the design phase of a product. This
paper describes a software architecture that has been
developed in order to integrate the design and simulation of a
product in a concurrent engineering environment. The paper
specifically addresses issues such as accurate interference
detection and the generation of analysis models for
simulation purposes.
