The usage of virtual prototyping has had great impact on the product development process during the last decade. It has evolved from mainly being applied to high-priced and low series products to include advanced analyses on everyday products This includes analysis of many of the processes that are performed in manufacturing of a product, such as cutting, welding and heat treatment. The focus of this project is to support the use of simulation tools for the manufacturing process with efficient information management. A system is being developed using database technology were it is possible to handle information prepared for and generated by simulation of analysis models for various types of manufacturing processes
