Virtual engineering approaches in product and process design

Virtual prototyping techniques are being extensively used in industry world wide, as they provide cross-functional evaluation at a lower cost, enable engineers to consider downstream issues earlier in the product design cycle, as well as facilitate better communication of product/process design issues among engineers of varying backgrounds. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review on virtual prototyping research efforts in various engineering domains, including design and manufacturing.
