Q2. What is the common type of quality checker?
Most of the quality checker applications are based on Web browser technology, where recommendations are presented to the user in the form of an HTML, XML and Java based report, which appears in the user’s Web browser.
Q3. What is the role of the syntactic quality criteria in CAD?
In industrial sectors where few OEMs control the market, such as the automotive and aeronautical sectors, the syntactic quality criteria plays an important role in the smooth communication within the work team inside the extended enterprise framework.
Q4. What are the main reasons why the present study is not considered?
Extrinsic problems, which have been extensively studied in the literature (see, for example, Vergest and Horváth [25]), are not considered for the present study.
Q5. What is the main neutral format in industry?
The consolidation of ISO 10303 (STEP) as the main neutral format in industry has relegated IGES and other popular formats to a secondary role.
Q6. What is the way to implement a strategy on product data quality?
To implement a strategy on product data quality (PDQ), it is important to adhere to some PQD standard, such as VDA 4955, that provides a good reference for analyzing morphological quality and develop modeling conventions and modeling guidelines adapted to the product development process.
Q7. What is the main reason why a CAD model is difficult to modify?
Complex parts with more than one hundred features become difficult to modify because of the multiple interrelations among features.
Q8. What are the two types of problems that are related to the structure of the CAD model?
Intrinsic problems are those related to the structure of the CAD model before any translation process begins, while extrinsic problems are related to those issues appearing during translation.
Q9. What are the three alternatives for transferring product data among the tiers?
There are three alternatives for transferring product data in computer-readable form among the tiers [20]: use of a common system, direct translation or indirect translation by means of a neutral file.
Q10. What is the level of quality associated with the model?
This is the level associated to semantic/pragmaticquality, where the modeling methodology is the key element to success in reusing models.
Q11. What is the main reason for the growth of concepts like e.g. collaborative engineering?
The expansion of concepts like extended enterprising and collaborative engineering is forcing an exponential growth of data flow inside the product development team.
Q12. What is the CAD system in the world?
The best CAD system in the world used by a badly trained operator without a goodmodeling methodology produces bad CAD models that impede the effectiveness of downstream applications.
Q13. What is the importance of the CAD models?
As will be seen later, the quality of these CAD models will be of vital importance for a smooth integration among the participants of the Product Development Process.
Q14. What are the criteria for analyzing polynomial degree of curves and surfaces?
The geometric criteria analyze polynomial degree of curves and surfaces to avoid undesired oscillating curves and rippling surfaces.
Q15. What is the economic cost of bad interoperability in the U.S. automotive industry?
A survey performed by the NIST Strategic Planning and Economic Assessment Office in 1999 [21], estimates the economic cost of bad interoperability in the U.S. automotive industry at one billion dollar per year.
Q16. What is the role of the extended modeling approach in the development of a weapon system?
The “extended modeling approach” transfers this knowledge inside the extended and/or virtual enterprise, providing overall lower cost and shortening the development time.
Q17. What is the common type of accuracy in CAD?
Most of CAD systems in the market provide some of the following accuracy types: Relative accuracy: the smallest element or the largest gapis in proportion to the model-bounding box.
