Fabian Arnold studied Mechanical and Process Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt until September 2021. In his master's thesis, he developed an information model for the pre-process of additive manufacturing, which maps all relevant information objects and enables the identification of optimization potentials.

Since November 2021, he is working as a research assistant at the Department of Computer Integrated Design (DiK) at the Technical University of Darmstadt.

Starting in the summer semester 2022, Mr. Arnold will supervise the lecture “Virtual Product Development C” in the Master's program.

In this lecture different principles, methods and tools for product and process modelling are presented. For instance principles of system technology, hierarchic structuring and modelling are reviewed. The methods of model design and its specification are demonstrated and discussed. Systematic data modelling is being presented in view of ISO 10303 “Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data” by use of SADT, EXPRESS and EXPRESS-G. The concepts of process modelling are explained with the help of business process modelling with EPK and BPMN2. Further focuses of this lecture are object orientated modelling with UML as well as the new methods of communication in terms of Industrie 4.0. Particular emphasis within the lecture is on deepening theoretical knowledge with the help of practical examples and smaller exercises.
