Initially devoted to design office, the digital mock-up spread out the various domains of the products development cycles from design to their commercialization . That capitalization source of innovation and performance for the whole set of industrial sectors is nevertheless not as natural as we could imagine.

How to exploit that “metadata” initially elaborated for a specific need?
What are the new requirements in the definition and exploitation of that “entity” due to the domains re-definition, its new "exploiting populations", and the enterprise scope (worldwide market)?
What are the limitations and the experience feedback from the users in the exploitation of the digital mock-up ?

The technologies devoted to simulation and virtual reality contribute in completing the conventional ways carried out in the development cycle and the products exploitation. Nonetheless, more than a complement, they represent in certain cases a revolution and/or an alternative by opening areas for experimentation or usages not feasible before : virtual show room, augmented reality, factory of future, training applied to rare procedures, … On the basis of solid cases, the return on investment, the benefits as well as the prospective application domains or applicative in the various activity fields of industry shall be addressed.
MultiModal platform for virtual aerostructure and transportation design : state of the art, case studies & perspectives.

The progress in haptics combined with 3D visualizations opens unprecedented perspectives in functional synergies in virtual reality with an objective : the assistance of human senses into decision process. What do our eyes, fingers and muscles, haptic sensors, realistic rendering and numerical simulations possibly remote mutualizable, in real time, enable to discover and explore.

This year we will also address Simulation and 3D context rendering of Industrial complex systems,plant and processes , like: Plant transparency and Operations Process Management , 3D industrial storyboard scenarios , Interactive virtual process and 3D Manufacturing Execution Systems.

10:30 - 12:30 - Style and Design 3D (Part 1)

A review of engineering and visualisation – from sketches showing early style ideas to finished products.

In an increasingly fragmented, dynamic and competitive market, each new model of a product must ultimately attract clients, especially when the product in question is designed for ‘leisure’ or ‘functional’ uses.
From drawings showing early style ideas to creating finished products, manufacturing processes must take into account the techno-industrial constraints imposed by considerations of cost, quality, time and quantity while recognising the key aim of creating an attractive and functional product that exists to fulfil a specific purpose.
What feedback is available to those creating a new style for a highly technological and strategically complex product? How can the twin constraints of style and design be reconciled?

See What You Mean : The Full Digital Design Process
3D Digital Design creates bridge over all the various activities of Design, in order to make collaboration effective between the Design and Engineering project teams. A fully 3D integrated solution allows to boost creativity, as well as cost savings and quality improvement, from Concept Design to Manufacturing and User Experience. Strate Collège Designers illustrates the transversal collaboration between 3D Designers and Modelers, from Concept to Class A.

Virtual worlds find more and more applications in enterprises in order to facilitate and optimize management. Nowadays, virtual worlds are adopted by all functions: Human Resources, Organization, Marketing, Production, R&D, etc. This move is fast and irreversible. According to Gartner Group, in 2012 50 % of large companies will have a virtual world similar to Second Life.

Altogether in 2007 these virtual worlds have raised funds in excess of 1 billion $. And according to the last survey by the American institute Forrester, they should be as important as Internet today. But large corporations are not the only ones to turn virtual, as it is shown by the great proportion of SMEs engaged in the IntraVerse Awards. What we have to name “a revolution in management” is easily explained by what virtual worlds can bring to management: they enable to simulate, to make trials and errors, to free creativity, to telework, to better train and communicate. In short, only advantages!
