text: 'The effects of decisions in strategic product planning are usually far-reaching,
but at the same time difficult to assess. Simulations help to make these effects
more tangible. Until now, the use of simulation in strategic product planning
has been limited to behavioral and innovation diffusion studies. This paper presents
a process model for widening business models or planning upcoming product generations.
It supports integrating the simulation of technical systems into decisionmaking
processes to select the most suitable product for adaptation to new application
scenarios. To this end, the characteristics of such new application scenarios
are applied to existing product models in simulation, and the system behavior
is evaluated based on key figures. This supports the comparison of different products
and the selection of the product alternative requiring the least amount of modification.
The process model enables decision-makers to systematically integrate simulation
into the decision-making process and thus make more data-based decisions. '

text: Rapid prototyping based on 3D models is well accepted for several applications.
This article addresses the application of animated virtual 3D prototypes for the
development of computer-based systems supporting early collaboration of the system
designer with the external customer. Our methodology seamlessly integrates illustration
through 3D animation with the main tasks of computer-based real-time systems development,
i.e., implementation and verification. The approach is outlined by the example
of the design of a flexible manufacturing system.
