Abstract: Using the CAD-CAM-CAE type programs, case studies can be carried out to analyze some industrial tasks that may occur in realization, manufacture, and operation of certain components, before they are manufactured put into under normal conditions. operation. Computer programs perform a virtual modeling an analysis them based on finite element method, help reduce launch production...

Integrating customer contributions into new product development provides an effective approach for successful product innovation, but little academic research explicitly addresses appropriate customer integration strategies. To explore such strategies, this study investigates the impact of different customer contribution types and timing. An analysis of four case studies with industrial goods d...

International integration strengthening intra-industrial trade may have important implications for employment, wages and inequality. The reason is that product market integration enhances export possibilities through easier access to foreign markets, but also import threats arising from foreign firms entering the domestic market. We explore the implications of these mechanisms in a genereal equ...

In the academic field of computer-aided product development, the role of the design tool is to support engineering designers to develop and integrate simulation models. Used to save time and costs in product development process, the simulation model, however, introduces additional costs for its development and integration, which often become considerably large due to the fact that many, complex...
