Abstract

The NCMS Green Design Advisor is a CAE design tool to help manufacturers minimize the environmental impacts of electro-mechanical products. This tool will generate a product feature-based rating that gives the designer a basis for reducing environmental impacts associated with the manufacture, use, and disposition of the product. This analytical tool will provide support to the designer early in the product development cycle when it is most efficient to address environmental costs and impacts. A user-driven development plan will ensure end-user acceptance and maximize multi-industry applicability. In this paper the authors discuss user needs and the benefits of a collaborative industry-driven approach in meeting these needs. The authors evaluate technical risks and functional limitations in developing a first generation Green Design Advisor. They conclude by suggesting a general technical approach to develop and validate a prototype green design tool. The initial prototype tool and validation exercises will focus on products consisting generically of printed wiring boards in metal or plastic housings.<>

NCMS绿色设计顾问，一个环保设计的CAE工具

NCMS绿色设计顾问是一个CAE设计工具，帮助制造商最大限度地减少机电产品对环境的影响。该工具将生成基于产品特性的评级，为设计师提供减少与产品制造、使用和处置相关的环境影响的基础。该分析工具将在产品开发周期的早期为设计人员提供支持，以最有效地解决环境成本和影响。用户驱动的开发计划将确保最终用户接受并最大化多行业适用性。在本文中，作者讨论了用户的需求以及协作的行业驱动方法在满足这些需求方面的好处。作者评估了开发第一代绿色设计顾问的技术风险和功能限制。最后，他们提出了开发和验证绿色设计工具原型的一般技术方法。最初的原型工具和验证练习将集中在通常由金属或塑料外壳中的印刷线路板组成的产品上。
