Legacy System Engineering, VPERC Consortium

Abstract

This paper is one of three components of an effort in support of Hampton University's Virtual Parts Engineering Research Center to provide design and development as well as testing and analysis of a typical part which requires re-engineering with a given military legacy weapons system. The report of Arizona State University, the third collaborator, detailed their research and results working with a Hampton University model embedded within a Utah assembly structure. They were able to automatically recognize common assembly features and extract functional capabilities. In this document, we will discuss some Utah efforts towards integrating analysis and design in a system that integrates functional analysis and geometric structure in a way to make rational re-engineering more approachable to a less-expert audience. More precisely, this reports highlights some results from each of these efforts in assembly creation, assembly redesign and assembly analysis.
