A collection of papers from a conference held at Kings College, London. Computer-based Design focuses on all areas of design using computational methods and examines how all these individual tools can be integrated to produce a coherent design process. This volume also covers areas of manual design methods and modelling that are vital to the continuing development and evolution of the computer-aided design process. TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE * Product design and modelling * Design process * Decision-making models * Computer-assisted design systems * Computer-assisted conceptual design * Computer-assisted detailed design * Computer assisted design for manufacture * Design knowledge manipulation * Engineering change * Engineering design issues * Fuzzy design * Computer-aided design * Industrial applications of design * Advanced design applications * Computational fluid dynamics Computer-based Design provides an excellent opportunity for an update on the latest techniques and developments from concept to advanced application in the design arena.
