Product Realization for the 21st Century:

• Development of a System for Automated & Optimized CNC machining using Process modeling and Integrated CAD/CAM technology
• Development of an integrated CAD/CAE /CAM/PDM system for modeling and simulating the power train of a hybrid electric vehicle

Investigation of Optimal Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Powertrain Design, Control and Performance Using Computer Simulation

• Developed HEV Powertrain design module to realize rapid concept design of HEV powertrain on various duty cycles
• Developed HEV transmission optimization module to realize rapid determination of transmission configuration, design and optimization
• Developed HEV simulation module to test effects of various control strategies on the vehicle performance

Developing a PDM based system that integrates the design/simulation software with the data libraries (such as libraries for engine, motor, gears) so that data attributes can be shared effectively among designers, engineers and manufacturing engineers.
