Digital mockup relativo a un Mounted combat system
Digital mockup (DMU) - digital prototyping - is a virtual building and analysis work performed by a computer, object, component, and physical assembly.
Digital mockup allows the simulation of assemblies, interactions between components and constructions before they are actually realized. And so lets you evaluate scenarios or alternative options and identify problems.
Digital mockup is based on CAD tools - Computer Aided Design - and Data Management, and has been a major development since the early '90s with the consolidation of 3D 3D (3D) tools.
Examples of digital mockups are: car engine compartment design, aircraft and helicopter assembly verification, control and modification of piping in plants and ships.
In general, the greater the number of components involved, or the greater the complexity is the return on investment in digital mockup.
