MACAO- A Journey into CAx Interoperability and Collaborative Design

MACAO - A Journey into CAx Interoperability and Collaborative Design Florian Arnold Research Group for Computer Application in Engineering Design (Prof. C. W. Dankwort) University of Kaiserslautern, Germany http://rkk.mv.uni-kl.de arnold@mv.uni-kl.de Abstract The increasing parallelisation of development processes as well as the ongoing trends towards virtual product development and outsourcing of development activities strengthen the need for 3D co-operative design via communication networks. Regarding the field of CAx, none of the existing systems meets all the requirements of very complex process chain. This leads to a tremendous need for the integration of heterogeneous CAx systems. Therefore, MACAO, a platform-independent client for a distributed CAx component system, the so-called ANICA CAx object bus, is presented. The MACAO client is able to access objects and functions provided by different CAx servers distributed over a communication network. Thus, MACAO is a new solution for engineering design and visualisation in shared distributed virtual environments. This paper describes the underlying concepts, the actual prototype implementation, as well as possible application scenarios in the area of co-operative design and visualisation. 1. Introduction Today, no single CAx system is able to meet all requirements of modern engineering design and manufacturing process chains, e.g. in automotive industry. Hereby, the abbreviation CAx stands for all computer- aided techniques applied during product development, e.g. CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing), and CAS (Computer Aided Styling). An enormous number of different CAx tools is used for diverse purposes and the design of different parts of complex products. Thus, to ensure the needed CAx interoperability, up to now a file-based data exchange by means of neutral file formats or direct converters has been essential and unavoidable. But this general practi
