Systems integration environments

The extended SCR model has been integrated with other catalyst and diesel particulate filter (DPF) models in the Daimler exhaust gas after-treatment systems simulation environment ExACT. The model was also extended to other SCR catalytic materials [79].

Inkjet must be understood as a complete system. Many disciplines (materials science, chemistry, device physics, system integration, production engineering, software, mechanical engineering, electronics) must be brought together. Customers still face application challenges and available production tools, still in their infancy, often do not meet all requirements. It is not uncommon for systems to exist that work in the laboratory but are not yet ready for a 24/7 industrial environment.

A simplified flow for such a system exploration environment is shown in Fig. 2.6. For a given system configuration, a floorplanning tool could be used to extract related physical information. Then different feasibility analysis tools could be applied to evaluate the performance and cost of a given integration solution. Our cost analysis framework could be integrated to answer the what-if questions about the fabrication cost so that a cost efficient implementation could be identified. Of course, many other analysis engines are also required and we will further discuss these issues in the last chapter. 

A joint venture between the Fuel Cell Propulsion Institute (a nonprofit consortium of industry participants) and Vehicle Projects LLC (project management) provided the basis for the 2 phase project. In phase I, SandiaNational Laboratories was tasked with the design of the fuel cell powerplant and the metal-hydride storage, as well as system integration. Phase 2 includes system evaluation, safety and risk assessment, and underground testing in a production environment.
