The impact of computer tool systems on design methodology processes and approaches

Abstract

The aim of technical design is that the method used and the process followed produce a tangible result that provides an optimal solution to a given technical problem. The goal is continuous development, planning and control, which requires a large amount of mental, physical and financial effort. The driving force behind the system is based on the market and social needs as well as the continuous development of technical sciences. These demands force the continuous renewal of products and parts so that they can be reborn with a new appearance and new functions. From an economic point of view, unexpected costs can be minimized in the early phase of the design process, therefore a well-chosen design approach and design tool system can be key to achieve the success of the final construction. With the help of the tools of computer technology, various planning support procedures could be created, which, in addition to the methods of classical design methodologies, made the work of design engineers easier.
