Produktdatenverarbeitung aus der Sicht des CAD-Referenzmodells.

The CAD systems which are available today have deficits particularly with regard to the quality of work and the overall assistance of the design process, so that potentials of CAD applications cannot be fully used. In the "CAD reference model" compound project, an architecture of references is developed which serves as a basis for drawing the attention to solutions for eliminating such deficits and for setting up requirements on the configuration of future CAD systems. The development of nominal conceptions for the processing of product data is a major topic of the project.
