1. The Design Process
The general process of design is characterized as an
iterative process consisting of six phases:
1. Recognition of need - someone recognizes the
need that can be satisfied by a new design
2. Problem definition - specification of the item
3. Synthesis - creation and conceptualization
4. Analysis and optimization - the concept is
analyzed and redesigned
5. Evaluation - compare design against original
specification
6. Presentation - documenting the design
(e.g., drawings)

Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
Any design activity that involves the effective use of the
computer to create, modify, analyze, or document an
engineering design
Commonly associated with the use of an interactive
computer graphics system, referred to as a CAD system
The term CAD/CAM is also used if the computer system
supports manufacturing applications as well as design
applications

CAD system develops a mathematical description of the
geometry of an object, called a geometric model
To display an image of the model on a graphics terminal
To perform certain operations on the model
2D, 3D, wireframe, solid, color, animation

Engineering Analysis
Some analyses are performed as a part of design process
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) software:
Mass properties analysis – volume, surface area,
weight, center of gravity
Interference checking
Tolerance analysis – access how tolerances affect
(1)function and performance, (2) assembly, (3) overall size
Finite element analysis (FEA)
Kinematic and dynamic analysis
Discrete-event simulation – operation systems like
manufacturing cell and material handling system.

Engineering Analysis
Mass properties analysis. This involves the computation of such
features of a solid object as its volume, surface area, weight, and center
of gravity. It is especially applicable in mechanical design. Prior to CAD,
determination of these properties often required painstaking and time-
consuming calculations by the designer.

Engineering Analysis
Tolerance analysis. Software for analyzing the specified tolerances of
a product’s components is used
1. to assess how the tolerances may affect the product’s function
and performance,
2. to determine how tolerances may influence the ease or difficulty
of assembling the product, and
3. to assess how variations in component dimensions may affect the
overall size of the assembly.

CAD System Hardware
The hardware for a typical CAD system consists of the
physical devices used to support CAD software.
The hardware system consists of the following
components:
1. One or more design workstations
2. Digital computer
3. Plotters, printers, and other output devices
4. Storage devices

CAD Workstations
CAD Engineering Workstation
An engineering workstation is a stand-alone computer system that is
dedicated to one user and capable of executing graphics software
and other programs requiring high-speed computational power.
The graphics display is a high-resolution monitor with a large screen.
As shown in the figure, engineering workstations are often networked
to permit exchange of data files and programs between users and to
share plotters and data storage devices.

They are the most widely used CAD systems today and consist of a
personal computer with a high-performance CPU and high-resolution
graphics display screen.
The computer is equipped with a large random-access memory
(RAM), math coprocessor, and large-capacity hard storage disk, and
software packages used for CAD.
PC-based CAD systems can be networked to share files, output
devices, and for other purposes.

Managing the Product Design
The output of the creative design process includes massive amounts of
data that must be stored and managed using product data management
system (PDM)
A PDM system consists of computer software that provides links between
users (e.g., designers) and a central database, which stores design data
such as geometric models, product structures (e.g., bills of material)
The software also manages the tracks changes and recording a history of
each part and product
The PDM system is a component of a broader process within a company
called product lifecycle management (PLM), which is concerned with
managing the entire life cycle of a product, starting with the initial concept
for it, continuing through its development and design, prototype testing,
manufacturing planning, production operations, customer service, and
finally its end-of-life disposal
Implementing PLM involves the integration of product and production
data, business procedures, and people.

Managing the Product Design
Computer-aided design and management systems provide many
advantages, including
Increased design productivity
Increased available geometric forms in the design– wider range of
mathematically defined shapes possible
Improved quality of the design– more engineering analysis
possible, consideration of more alternatives
Improved design documentation– better drawings than with
manual drafting
Creation of a manufacturing database– creation of the design
documentation also creates manufacturing data
Design standardization– use of design rules to limit the number of
hole sizes, fasteners, etc.

CAD/CAM
Concerned with the engineering functions in both design
and manufacturing
Denotes an integration of design and manufacturing
activities by means of computer systems
Goal is to not only automate certain phases of design
and certain phases of manufacturing, but to also
automate the transition from design to manufacturing
In the ideal CAD/CAM system, the product design
specification residing in the CAD database would be
automatically converted into the process plan for
making the product
