Behavioral Modeling: Next Generation CAD is Here
WebCast on May 26
"For the first time, users can blend product model requirements and desired
functional behavior with actual geometry. Rather than limit themselves to the
What of design engineering, designers can begin to explore the Why of their
engineering ideas." Ken Versprille, DH Brown
The design problems you're faced with today often require multiple – many
times contradictory – simultaneous goals to be satisfied. Up until now,
you've only used CAD for design documentation and verification of such goals.
But behavioral modeling can actually help you meet the design goals you
thought were impossible.
Solve complex design and engineering problems with the click of a button.
Quickly create innovative designs without multiple iterations. Incorporate
specific functional behaviors. It's possible today with behavioral modeling.
Speaker: KEN VERSPRILLE, Ph.D.
Ken Versprille is D. H. Brown Associates' Program Manager and Senior Analyst
for MCAE, CAD/CAM with 20 years experience in Computer-Aided Engineering,
Design, Manufacturing and Documentation applications.
Before joining DHBA, Ken held numerous senior level technical and managerial
positions, including Vice President of CADDS R&D, during his 15 years at
Computervision Corporation that helped develop his expertise in the
implementation, marketing, and sales of broad based CAD and enabling, data-
operable toolkits. He was a lead architect of the CADDS 4 product and also had
sole responsibility for the design of Computervision's 3D graphics system.
Ken holds a BS in Mathematics from the University of New Hampshire and earned
both his Masters and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Syracuse University, where
he is recognized for publishing the first description of NURBS (Non-Uniform
Rational B-Splines), the mathematical curve and surface formulation that has
become an international standard in CAD and Computer Graphics.

Sounds interesting, but I'm sure it's not going to be without sales propaganda
from PTC.
No thanks!

You can already achieve this in SW with Excel and a bit of VB code.
All this really does is wrap it up into a more palatable interface.
It is only possible to optimise on things which can be directly
measured from within the modeller, or for which you have an explicit
formula. If you want to optimise on stress or deflection, you will
require Mechanica. Cosmos/Works has an optimiser under development
which will also do this.
Further, I suspect that any sort of behavioural modeling will not
solve combinatorial type of problems eg packing widgets into a
container or routing cables. This class of problems usually require
special approaches eg genetic selection or simulated annealing.
IMHO - seems very useful until you go to use it.
Any comments?
Kind regards
