“…Their model is based on mapping coding and decoding through a central interface exchange. Zimmermann et al [11] developed a system containing generic inter-view links called "Universal Linking of Engineering Objects", which forms relationships between technical objects from different professions (design, manufacturing, quality). The system allows for the construction of a unique multi-view model.…”

The complete definition of a product often requires the collaboration of various partners. Data sharing and exchange between partners has thus become an important task throughout a product's entire life cycle. Even while subsets of the product definition are exchanged (as work packages) and modified by various partners, the global product definition must remain consistent. This paper focuses on maintaining consistency between Computer-Aided Design (CAD) work packages and the global product Digital Mock-Up (DMU). The approach is designed to ensure better management of the associations between objects when a work package is extracted from the global DMU, modified by a partner, sent back to the originator and then re-inserted into the global DMU, which must be modified in turn so as to maintain consistency. To this end, we propose an association management model for the digital mock-up (Digital Mock-up Association Management Model, DMU-AMM) that transposes the associations that exist between a DMU and a work package, including package extraction and modifications, to ultimately guide the evolution of the DMU so as to reconcile the associations between a modified DMU and the modified work package and there by maintain consistency.

In the current collaborative and extended-enterprise environment, product definition must be exchanged between original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and other partners who contribute to the evolution of product definition. In many cases, an information package, which is associated with other objects in the DMU, must thus be extracted from the OEM's Digital Mock-up (DMU) and be sent to partners and suppliers to allow them to perform the required work on their work packages (WP). The objective of our research is to maintain the associations between objects when a work package is removed from the DMU of the originator, modified by the subcontractor, and then reinserted into the DMU. We propose an association management model to transpose the initial work package associations towards the modified work package, to reconcile these associations with the DMU and then propagate changes towards the latter to maintain consistency.

“…It has also been observed from previous research in the field that the monolithic product representation is inadequate to support the necessary transactions for an effective cross-functional collaboration during the product development Fortin & Huet, 2007;Szykman et al, 2001;Zimmermann et al, 2002); being it internal to the company or shared with some partners. Indeed, when it comes to the testing and refinement phase as part of the Product Development Process (PDP) the following concerns have been raised:…”
