Shaping of unified information space for the development of power modules, using CALS technologies
A method is described of how to form unified information space for designing power units built around reciprocating engines. Optimization of W-engine connecting rod is taken as an example of CALC usage for diesel engine development, taking account of its application and manufacturing methods. CALC implementation allows to considerably reduce costs of new products, rapidly respond to market demand and customers' needs, and develop competitive power units.
