  Abstract/
Summary
The EMIRAcle association has been created as a European association in order to refer as a pool of European experts with respect to design and manufacturing scientific research.

A group of EMIRAcle partners have been working on 'virtual prototyping (VP)' competencies. The long terms main objectives were:
  • to set a common understanding concerning virtual prototyping
  • to gather competencies in virtual prototyping including maturity regarding new concepts and software demonstrators
  • to provide to academics or industries methods, models and software to support virtual prototyping.
The paper aims at presenting first results of that research group concerning the creation of a VP knowledge map (second objective). Those results are based on a design case study led by several partners of the EMIRAcle association.
