Computer-based tools and methods have become important means of design, simulation and manufacturing in the product development process. Today, many companies function as global enterprises where practically all work is distributed and coordinated worldwide. Consequently large amounts of heterogeneous and distributed engineering data are produced. Furthermore, Computer-based analysis activities within different analysis domains normally need to combine, exchange, and share relevant product data to each other. Product development thus requires product information to be communicated between computer-based tools in such a globally distributed and heterogeneous computing environment. This paper presents how modem database technology can be used to facilitate the integration of product data, specifically information concerning multibody system (MBS) analysis. Through the examples provided, this paper shows how to use multi-database facilities to integrate MBS data between different engineering analysis tools through network; How to access MBS data by using a CORBA-based client-server model. Furthermore, it shows how to use database query language to pose queries to retrieve MBS information that is stored in the embedded database.
