New ways of data processing for increasing of the efficiency within the product development

Future development processes need measurability of the development quality and of the product properties considerable before the beginning of the production and assembly process. This checkup can at least take place with virtual examinations (simulations). These virtual examinations should reflect the degree of maturity and should be used for the release of production. However, the benchmark of the whished product properties and the product behavior requires a coherent dataset, which can be additional usable for a multitude of possible simulations, which has to be strongly integrated in the product development process (PDP). Moreover the increasing mass of information caused by complex and mechatronic products as well as the interdisciplinary work and globalization lead to the need of finding and analyzing new ways of data processing for increasing of the efficiency within the product development
