Much of engineering is based on asymptotic theory for space time scales of problems we are trying to solve, and there are many cases in which the dominance rule has been formulated. In these cases, it is possible to run simulations based on the dominance rule with the virtual environment within the computer. Simulations are being developed in many areas of engineering, and effectively used. All phenomena can be correctly simulated with computer models, to the extent that there is a misunderstanding that the results found are always correct.
For manufacturing that starts with design, lately there are attempts to develop computer-aided technology (CAx) for CAD, CAE, CAM, etc. as well as manuals, pamphlets, maintenance service, and disposal support, and to integrate them.
This course is based on the lecture format, and we will cover frameworks for computers aiding these elements, the integration of computer-stored information for manufacturing workflows, and basic requirements for computer-aided systems.
Students will acquire the following skills by taking this course.
1) Gain an understanding of the basic structure of computer-aided systems, and acquire the skills to determine their uses.
2) Gain an understanding of diverse aspects of computer-aided systems for manufacturing, and the forms of information that should be integrated into them.
3) Understand the ideas behind the integrated database based on 3-dimensional CAD.
4) Understand the importance of human creativity for advanced computer-aided system environments.
