International Conference on Engineering Design

Engineering design consists of a variety of thought processes, but most of them can be classified into two types, analysis and synthesis. There is a need to build an advanced CAD system that can support not only analysis but also synthesis. However, traditionally, CAD technologies have paid little attention to synthesis. Our project team, “Modeling of Synthesis”, has focused on the synthesis th...

International Conference on Engineering Design

The plant design process is a set of complex and iterative decisional activities and analysis which involve heterogeneous “actors” with different competencies. The first design results are achieved after time-consuming analysis of thermodynamic and acoustic plant characteristics. Then, the functional solution (the plant layout and the ducts geometry) has to be verified from the structural viewp...

International Conference on Engineering Design

All design is a form of change, because all products are based on other designs or design ideas. This paper presents a classification of change processes occurring throughout the development cycle of a product and relates different products and ranges to each other. Individual customer needs are most obviously met in mass customisation, which is discussed here in relation to other change proces...
