Team

Tim Jagenberg studied Aerospace Engineering at the University of Stuttgart until 2007. During his studies he did a semester abroad at the University of Sydney and wrote his diploma thesis at an Atlanta based softwarecompany in the field of process automation.
After finishing his studies, he started working at the Department for Computer Integrated Design in February 2008.

During the summer semester 2008 and 2009 he was assisting the lecture “Virtual Product Development C”. He was also leading the practical exercises which support the taught content.

• “Evaluating a modeling method for the modularisation of CAD-parts”
• “Development of a Siemens PLM NX-Module for the Automated Generation of Forging Shapes”
• “Integration of Synchronous Communication in Computer Aided Design”
• “Analysis of Simulation-based Robust Design in Product Development”
• “Motion Controllers in Computer Aided Design”

Rolls-Royce

In this research project, a number of axis-symmetric components, in this case compressor- and turbine disks, were analysed. Common geometric shapes, called Standard Features, were modularised and organised in a structured reuse library. In collaboration with manufacturing engineers, experience about stable processes was transformed into a set of rules. A CAD integrated software tool is then used to inform the designer about these in the context of the current model. This semi-automated design process leads to a more manufacturing conformant design model, which can then be further detailed by the designer.
