	%X A novel simulation method to determine the
displacements of machine tools due to thermal factors is presented.
The specific characteristic of this method is the employment of
original CAD data from the design process chain, which is
interpreted by an algorithm in terms of geometry-based allocation of
convection and radiation parameters. Furthermore analogous models
relating to the thermal behaviour of machine elements are
automatically implemented, which were gained by extensive
experimental testing with thermography imaging. With this a
transient simulation of the thermal field and in series of the
displacement of the machine tool is possible simultaneously during
the design phase. This method was implemented and is already used
industrially in the design of machining centres in order to improve
the quality of herewith manufactured workpieces.
