"Best Distributed Application Using Object Technology" ObjectWorld'97

Welcome to the TIGER Web at Georgia Tech! Please see these links for general TIGER information:

• Main TIGER Web at SCRA
• Program Overview on the Atlanta ECRC TIGER Web
• U-Engineer - The demonstration engineering service bureau (ESB) initiated in TIGER
• Georgia Tech TIGER Group
• ProAM - A follow-on project to extend the DAI and ESB techniques used in TIGER.

Other links on this site deal primarily with the Georgia Tech and Atlanta ECRC portions of TIGER.

Technology Advancements

Design-Analysis Integration (DAI) in TIGER

Includes papers on STEP product-data driven mechanical analysis capabilities the Analyzable Product Model (APM) technique, thermomechanical examples, and creation of Ansys finite element models using Mentor Graphics circuit board CAD models via STEP AP210 DIS.

Engineering Service Bureau (ESB) Paradigm

Includes overview of STEP-driven, Internet-based, self-service analysis bureaus, as well as guidelines for ESB setup and usage. Based on experiences with U-Engineer, the ESB initiated in TIGER with highly automated plug-and-play analysis modules.

TIGER Collaborative Engineering Scenario

• Scenario Overview
• Roles (See scripts below for detailed demo steps)
  • Prime: The Boeing Company This demonstration Prime IntrAnet is hosted at Georgia Tech and includes links to representative suppliers/SMEs like Holaday Circuits.
  • Small-Medium Enterprise (SME): Holaday Circuits, Inc. This demonstration SME web is hosted at Georgia Tech and supports secure web-based data uploads from Primes. It includes a representative SME IntrAnet with links to representative suppliers used by PWB fabricators, including suppliers of engineering services like U-Engineer.
  • Engineering Service Bureau (ESB): U-Engineer This demonstration ESB offers highly-automtated, self-service PWA/B analyses driven by STEP product data-driven capabilities built upon Descriptions of analysis modules and instructions for starting TIGER Tools are included. This ESB is a tangible illustration of the above ESB paradigm and DAI techniques.
• Premier Demo
