Abstract :
This paper discusses PANDYA, which is a virtual prototyping test bed for electronics assembly. With the help of virtual reality based environments, product and process design issues can be studied. PANDYA facilitates identification of problems by enabling ideas to be proposed, studied, modified and validated. Such an approach reduces the overall product development time, reduces overall cost and improves communication among product development team members.
