Outline of Final Research Achievements

Model-based product development is a means to verification of the functions of a product by building and simulating the corresponding product model without relying on experiments with prototype of the product. It is currently introduced in automotive and aerospace industry in the world. The objective of this research is to study a method to understand the behavior of a product in context of model-based product development. This research utilizes not only numerical simulation methods that generate quantitative behavior but also methods to utilize the relations among the parameters in the arithmetic differential equations that generate the quantitative behavior. By doing so, the designers were able to understand the behavior of a product with focusing on the behavior of the representative parameters, whose number is far less than the number of actual parameters. During the study period, we have published some articles in referred international journals and conference proceedings.
