Abstract: Disclosed is a parametric feature-based 3D CAD system that allows multiple users to simultaneously edit a parametric feature-based 3D CAD model consisting of 3D parts and assemblies of those parts (3D Model). Several CAD users, each using their own computer, phone, or tablet, can edit the same 3D Model at the same time. Editing may be separate and simultaneous—there is no need for users to worry about locking, checking out, or otherwise restricting each other's access to 3D Models. As a result, users see each other's changes occur in real-time, and may also identify what aspects other users are actively modifying through visible Collaboration Cues.

Abstract: An aircraft designing apparatus receives set values of design parameters related to the shape of an intake duct, creates analysis models for an aerodynamic characteristic analysis and a radar-cross-section analysis by using the values of the design parameters, calculates aerodynamic characteristics and radar-cross-section characteristics of the intake duct, and determines whether or not this analytical result satisfies a preset design condition. If it is determined that the analytical result does not satisfy the design condition, the values of the design parameters are updated. The updating of the design parameters, the analyses of the aerodynamic characteristics and the radar-cross-section characteristics, and the determining process are repeated until it is determined that the analytical result satisfies the design condition.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a system and method are provided for supporting interactive debugging of embedded software (ESW) on a simulation platform. A processor model within the simulated system will support a register and memory tracing sub-module. Simulator and emulator breakpoints will be used with the modeled objects within the tracing sub-module. For example, a simulator breakpoint may be set for the task or function that buffers the trace information so it can be written to a file. A database of register and memory values which represent the complete history of register and memory value changes during a simulation can be created from trace information and can be accessed to non-intrusively obtain any processor register or memory value during simulation. The processor register and memory values of the database can also be accessed to symbolically show the behavior of ESW concurrently with hardware behavior in the simulation.
