Abstract

ProAM has focused on improving missile electronics through advanced engineering analysis integration and delivery. This effort has addressed barriers to small & medium-sized enterprise (SME) analysis of product physical behavior with the involvement of two SMEs in the U. S. Army AMCOM supply chain. Resulting tools include U-Engineer.com, a self/full-serve Internet-based engineering service bureau (ESB) with highly automated analysis modules for printed wiring board (PWB) fabricators and designers. General ESB and analysis integration techniques underlying U-Engineer.com are highlighted including a) SME usage of CORBA-wrapped analysis solvers, and b) product data-driven analysis techniques employing emerging standards like ISO STEP AP210 and IPC GenCAM/GenX in a highly automated plug-and-play manner.

SME and Prime utilization of U-Engineer.com is highlighted, including evaluating design/process alternatives and increasing awareness of potential issues. Experience has shown that ProAM technology excels at delivering automated product-specific analysis to places it has never gone before. Additional envisioned applications include analysis module catalogs for other industries and company-specific Internet/Intranet-based ESBs.
