虚拟原型技术应用中的几个问题

In recent years, virtual prototyping technology has played more and more important roles in design of mechanical system to satisfy the requirement of quality and performance of products. This technology is not only used to improve the performance of machinery, but also can reduce the cost and time of development of new products greatly. In the paper, impacts of this technology on mechanical design engineer are introduced. The advantage and disadvantage of it are analyzed according to author’s experience. Some issues in application of VPT are discussed mainly and some measures are carried out to deal with them.
