Product Life Cycle Simulation System for EcoDesigners

Abstract

The influences of designing product spread from human scale to social scale. In conceptual design stage, it is necessary for the designer to easily and quickly get the overview and the insight of the influences of designing product in the environment. The necessity of the product life cycle simulation system as a handy tool for ecodesigners is indicated. The framework of the product life cycle simulation system which includes 6 systems and 5 layers is proposed. The methods of input data and dynamic subject link of the product life cycle simulation system are proposed
