Proposing a PLM architecture framework for consistency in the engineering of machine tools 1Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany; 2TRUMPF SE + Co. KG, Germany Manufacturing companies engineering Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems face growing challenges in maintaining consistent product-related data and processes. This paper proposes a PLM Architecture Framework that integrates concepts from Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) along an adapted DevOps lifecycle. The framework enables consistency and transparency across engineering and business domains. A case study in machine tool engineering illustrates its potential to enhance data traceability, stakeholder alignment, and cross-generational digital continuity. Utilizing form-finding in mechanical engineering design using basic structural FEA Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria In this work, we propose an extension of classical form-finding that incorporates non-design space requirements directly into the process. This enables numerical weight optimization of thin-walled structural components. We present a concrete implementation which relies exclusively on standard structural finite element analysis, promoting integration into existing workflows. The method is validated on benchmark problems with known optimal solutions. Finally, its practical benefits are demonstrated through a more realistic engineering case study. A key indicator for integral vs differential design of battery packs in battery electric vehicles under structural dynamic loads Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany Battery packs in BEVs are multidisciplinary design challenges balancing cost, weight, volume, range, and charging time. As the heaviest and most expensive component, their reliability and safety under vibration and shock is critical. This contribution presents an indicator to cluster measured vibration data of BEV battery packs based on coupling with the car body, enabling identification of representative designs and generalization of vibration behavior for future, more integrated architectures. Integrating manufacturing constraints in existing generative design workflows: wall thickness and cooling channel considerations 1University of Bayreuth, Germany; 2Technical University of Munich, Germany; 3Fraunhofer IGCV, Germany Generative Design (GD) offers lightweight, manufacturable solutions, but manufacturing constraints often require indirect handling. Using a deflection lever for Additive Casting, we compare PTC Creo GTO and Altair Inspire using identical load cases and mass-minimisation. Both tools achieved −26% mass and −46% inertia while meeting displacement limits. Wall-thickness control and channel integration show clear trade-offs, yet both tools provide viable designs for early development. | ||
