Variational Design in Electrical Engineering - An Extension of Parametric Modeling

In the area of computer aided design for mechanical engineering (MCAD), one of the most important innovations of the last decade has been the introduction of parametric modeling. Now parametric modeling will be extended to the field of computer aided design for electrical engineering (ECAD). In this engineering domain the technology of variational design will release a tremendous potential of cost and time reduction, simultaneously with a considerable improvement of quality. Hence, it can be considered as a significant base technology for next generation ECAD systems.
