“…VP technology is a computer-aided design process concerned with the construction of a digital mock-up and realistic graphical simulation to address the broad issues of physical layout, operational concept, functional specifications and dynamics analysis under various virtual operating environments (Shen et al 2005;Xiang et al 2004;Pratt 1995). Although VP technology has been extensively and successfully applied to the automobile and aerospace fields (Choi and Chan 2004), its development and application in the construction industry (i.e. construction process simulation) has been limited to date.…”

Life Cycle Management (LCM) has been employed in the management of construction projects for many years in order to reduce whole life cost, time, risk and improve the service to owners. However, owing to lack of an effective information sharing platform, the current LCM of construction projects is not effectively used in the construction industry. Based upon the analysis of the information flow of LCM, a Virtual Prototyping (VP)-based communication and collaboration information platform is proposed. Following this, the platform is customized using DASSAULT software. The whole process of implementing the VP-based LCM of projects is analyzed via the application to a real life construction project. The advantages of implementing a VP-based LCM are also discussed and, from a simple case study, it is demonstrated that the VP-based communication and collaboration information platform is an effective tool to support the LCM of construction projects.

Abstract-As one solution to complex product design, the integrated design environment has experienced several decades of development with great changes. This paper reviews the emergence, development history and future trend of integrated design environment. Firstly, the concept and connotation of design are analyzed, and then from the development of design behavior and the development of computer aided design, the inevitability and development history of integrated design environment are elaborated. Secondly, the background and characteristic of different kinds of integrated design environment were analyzed and elaborated. Finally, based on the trend analysis of the integrated design environment, future research direction and goals are proposed. Through this review, basic materials and direction for the related academic research can be provided.

“…The focus of these efforts has primary been two folded: product design and process simulation. In the product design phase, analyses such as functional testing, form-and-fit testing, ergonomic testing, assembly testing and disassembly testing, can be conducted on a virtual prototype using VR for design validation (Choi and Chan 2004). On the other hand, for process simulation, a manufacturing process can be simulated using VR to identify possible manufacturing problems or bottlenecks in production without having to use expensive physical mock-ups.…”
