Dear all, who were interested in the discussion about FoFdation and EMC2
I am very surprised that you are so much interested in our work. I didn't
expect as much response and I wasn't at the office yesterday to enter the
discussion.
To answer Jan's questions
- How much time we people have and how we test our effort
The FoFdation project has about 40 partners involved (among them are
Agie-Charmilles, Airbus, Fidia, Siemens and some smaller companies) and
consists of 9 Work Packages. My work is in Work Package 4 were we try to find
ways to optimize machining in the scope of the controller and the machine.
Other work packages are at different levels (i.e. Plant-Scope Manufacturing
Planning). For this task I work together with CADCamation SA (Work Package
Leader) and the university of Nantes () which supports us with manufacturing
know how and different kinds of machines. Fidia provides us with controller
knowledge and Artis will help to monitor the manufacturing process. We support
them with knowledge about developing CAD Systems and Computer Science. As far
as I know our work package takes about 3 years.
Comment about STEP, Tools and Projects:
STEP is not perfect but it's what our partners use. Because there are so many
partners involved there are (from my opinion too) many different requirements
and you are right that the work is not as productive as it would be if a
smaller group would do it. The point we are told from our project leaders is
that the companies involved should put something into the project but also
profit by including the development in their own things.

I am looking forward to a great collaboration with you all and thank you very
much for all the replies.
Kind regards
Fabian
