Integrated Product and Process Development Mode Based on Models Coupling

The coupling of product model and its development process model is very important to integrated product development. In this paper, the integrated product development architecture was established based on the detail analysis of coupling relations between product model and its corresponding process model, where the product data management system was viewed as the exchanging interface and operating platform of information. The integrated development mode by the coupling of product model main line and process model main line was presented. In this mode, both product model and process model are modified synchronously, and this modification is dynamic and mutual. The coupling mechanism between product model and its corresponding process model was established, and the algorithm was also given to evaluate the model coupling effect
