CAD-Systeme auf der Basis des CAD-Referenzmodells - Diskussion und Projektstatus

Today, effective use of CAD systems depends on individual application related system extensions which support single tasks of the design of special products. The reason is, that CAD systems are designed just to handle geometri informations. The CAD reference model therefore offers a new concept for the design of CAD systems supporting the whole design process and enabling the user to configurate a CAD system for special design tasks. Detailling this concept and realizing a concerning prototype system are the aims of an interdisciplinary project which will be executed by design engineers, production specialists, CAD consultants, software engineers and even ergonomists.
