Abstract:
Design Catalogues are a helpful method to assist designers by reusing existing solutions. The key to success when working with Design Catalogues is a funded database of catalogues. This paper describes basic functions and applications of the computer aided tool "eKat". It bases on modern data processing technologies and facilitates to access a large number of Design Catalogues via internet. The system makes designers able to explore alternatives and can be helpful for the embodiment design phase. Currently, the system contains 30 Design Catalogues and it will be expanded continuously in future. The access to various catalogues at any time makes this system attractive for engineers.
