Enhancing Engineering Design and Analysis Interoperability Part 2: A High Diversity Example

This is Part 2 in a series about knowledge representations that enable enhanced cooperation between engineering design and analysis models. A basic flap link example shows how the multi-representation architecture (MRA) analysis integration strategy supports computing environments that have a diversity of analysis fidelities, physical behaviors, and CAD/CAE tools. The constrained object (COB) technique from Part 1 provides the MRA with reusable, modular, multi-directional capabilities.
