摘要

The last decades have seen the development of tools dedicated to the virtualization of the real world. The simultaneous advent of Computing Science and Applied Mathematics have contributed to the change and improvement of product engineering approaches by fostering the development of new high-performance devices based on the concept of simulation. Nowadays, Computer Aided Design, Manufacturing and Engineering systems are considered as common tools and efficient instruments for supporting decision-making in product design and manufacturing. The fundamental goal of these devices consists in avoiding as soon as possible wrong decisions by enabling design actors to virtually observe and regard the results of a joined or concurrent activity, eventually being implemented in an extended context.
