Depending on the type of the manufacturing system, it is envisaged that virtual engi- neering （VE） technologies play a significant role in inte- grating the computer-based technologies involved in the product＇s life cycle. Simulations in a virtual world and exchange of real-time product or design data are among the benefits for today＇s global oriented manufacturing busi- ness. To highlight the significance of design as carrier of product data and the key role played by VE technologies to inter-link design, manufacturing and associated compo- nents, this paper presents an overview and analysis of the state-of-the-art VE technologies to indicate potential applications and future research directions.展开更多
