A collection of papers from a conference held at Kings College, London. Computer-based Design focuses on all areas of design using computational methods and examines how all these individual tools can be integrated to produce a coherent design process. This volume also covers areas of manual design methods and modelling that are vital to the continuing development and evolution of the computer-aided design process. TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE



Product design and modelling
Design process
Decision-making models
Computer-assisted design systems
Computer-assisted conceptual design
Computer-assisted detailed design
Computer assisted design for manufacture
Design knowledge manipulation
Engineering change
Engineering design issues
Fuzzy design
Computer-aided design
Industrial applications of design
Advanced design applications
Computational fluid dynamics

Computer-based Design provides an excellent opportunity for an update on the latest techniques and developments from concept to advanced application in the design arena.
