    Conceptual modelling for industrial design
    ( 1995)

    Striepe, A.
    Conceptual product data in packages, digital mockups or layout plans are the basis for designing the shape of a product. A system approach is presented which allows for the incorporation of these restrictive data in an appropriate manner for computer-aided styling tasks. The highly interactive and easy-to-use system components support the abstraction, midification and verification of conceptual data for preparation as well as the creative and intuitive modelling of three dimensional shapes. Characteristic of the new modelling approach is the strong analogy with the traditional. still predominant clay modelling process in the field of industrial design.

    A system architecture for parallel geometric modelling
    ( 1990)

    Methods to increase the performance of advanced CAD systems, especially of geometric modellers, by parallel processing are represented in this paper. First, the exploration of parallelism in geometric modellers and the organization of the parallel processing are shown. Apart from that, it is hinted at the great portion of time for accessing model data and handling its structure-information. In this context a functional unit for parallel handling of model accesses is sketched out. Finally, the hardware architecture is described.

    In a first part design is situated as an activity which integrates four domains: the customer's domain, the fuctional one, the product and the process domains. Two phases are distinguished: the creative and the analytic one. Successively following aspects are dicussed: Geometric Modelling, Inferfacing Product Modelling, Features, Simulation and System Architecture.
