This paper presents an approach to improve understanding regarding the current application of product models and design methods within a company's mechatronic product design process. The method consists of five steps, where information is acquired in interviews, analyzed regarding current state of understanding and application, immediate measures are derived and further measures are planned in a roadmapping...
During the use phase of Product-Service Systems (PSS) various kinds of usage data describing the interaction of user and PSS are collected. This information could be used to design PSS tailored to the needs of the users, but in industry this possibility is not utilized due to a lack of support for the analysis of the data. In this paper we present an approach and a model for systematically integrating...
The ongoing shift in mechatronics towards an increasing importance of information technology leads to increased discipline interfaces and increasing product complexity. Requirements engineering is a core aspect, in particularly, in interdisciplinary development. Here, methods can support engineers to handle complexity and coordinate development across disciplines. This contribution provides a literature...
This paper examines the use of process maturity models for the evaluation and improvement of the development process of mechatronic products. It summarizes the characteristics of this process, before maturity models for process evaluation are selected and shortly described. The popular process assessment models CMMI and SPICE are compared to specific maturity models, which were especially developed...
We present a computational method for three-dimensional tetrahedral mesh refinement according to the demands of oxidation simulation. The main focus lies on two major problems. First, the start-up condition of oxidation claims an initial mesh preparation which is done by the so called Laplace refinement, second the transient conversion of silicon (Si) to silicon dioxide (SiO2) forces a high spatial...
Due to the complex nature of Engineering Change Management (ECM), managing knowledge and supporting an organizational as well as personal learning process is a difficult but important task to support the realization of changes. This paper presents an approach to improve ECM by applying and adapting existing knowledge management methods with the aim of supporting companies in generation, transfer and...
We presented a transient electro-thermal analysis with STAP considering self-heating. Thermo-mechanical simulators, e.g. FEDOS, are coupled to provide appropriated input data for electromigration analysis to obtain predictive results. The presented electro-thermal results depict the high temperature gradients close to heat sources and heat sinks. Further regions of high risk of electromigration are...
We present a method for prediction of stress in poly-SiGe thin films based on the texture evolution. Models for different stress generation mechanisms are discussed and integrated in an overall simulation scheme. As example a three-dimensional cantilever structure is used to demonstrate the introduced approach, and simulation results are successfully compared with experiment
