Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Management of product complexity under consideration of parallel performed working tasks in virtual development establishes as an important challenge that has to be considered to ensure efficient product development processes. The main goal is to develop a virtual environment based on the approach of centralized 3D-CAD master models, which efficiently allow the simultaneous representation and alignment of involved parts and components. The present publication introduces to different levels of knowledge-based design methods, reaching from parametric geometry models up to comprehensive interactive applications including CAD-templates. As a key aspect of this publication, a knowledge intensive approach is presented, which points out the potential of advanced knowledge-based design methods. In particular the highly integrated approach uses a novel configuration of a design-related master model that connects several development disciplines and simultaneously enables the handling of complex product-related interdependencies. A central problem-oriented application offers a user-friendly interface that supports the automation and control of the entire product design process.
