Digital Mock-Up?

• What is a Digital Mock-Up?


A Digital Mock-Up is a simulation based on numerical and/or digital
models that represents partially or globally a product or part of a
product (airframe, systems, avionics, …).

• Why using a Digital Mock-Up?


© AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

To support the analysis of the product during its different phases
(project, feasibility, definition, post EIS).
DMU is used to ease design, understanding, validation,
modification, information, selling, support & maintenance, ...
DMU is used to replace partially or totally the physical mock-up.

• Validate an assembly operation with manikin.


Objectives
• Validation of news functionalities
(Delmia V5).
• Check the operations of assembly
according to the configuration plane
in the post (access and the
ergonomics operations).
• Check collisions & movements with
equipment (tools).
Project Benefits
• Anticipation of the ergonomic
problems for the operator (better
comfort to work).
• Better hand tooling/Aircraft parts
integration (use of check collision).

• Less effort for documentation (use
of 3D mock-up for technical
publication).

Objectives
• Software validation (Delmia V5).
• Validate the process of assembly
and unassembly.
• Check collisions & movements with
equipment (Jigs & Tools).

Project Benefits
• Clashes at section movement

approved.
• First time right achieved (planned).
• Better associativity between data
(very useful in case of modification).

Jigs and human assembly processes are validated for a subassembly. The
manufacturing engineer is supported by doing the process optimisation.
Planning safety and quality is increased.

Simulation activities | Today status.

• DMU status for geometrical engineering design and for


manufacturing process.
Until 1998, all our previous aircraft programs have been fully
developed by using the physical mock-up.
The A340-500/600 and A380 programs have been mainly
developed by using the digital mock-up based on the
Concurrent Engineering method (engineering simulation,
digital factory).
– Integration between aircraft engineering and industrialization
engineering.

• How to improve the today status?


Do more simulations?
Improve integration in our business processes and methods?
Improve tools : accuracy, rapidity,automation?

Conclusion | What optimal solution?

• Classical simulation tools are used all along the definition and the
development processes based on the Digital Mock-Ups.
• Force feedback and simulation of mechanical physics offer a perfect
mechanical understanding of the DMU.
• Automatic path planning tools have a really great potential.
