Virtual prototyping in simultaneous product/process design for disassembly

Designers are being called on to design higher-quality products, to consider additional life cycle concerns, and do this more rapidly with fewer resources. Our approach to rapid product development centers on two main ideas: an intelligent partition of responsibilities between designer and computer based on their abilities and capabilities; and an integrated decision support environment in which all the design requirements can be considered simultaneously. We illustrate the application of these ideas to product design for disassembly through our approach to virtual prototyping and the formulation and solution of simultaneous product and disassembly process design problems.
