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:
Finite element analyses (FEA) gain huge attention in engineering design practice. However, an efficient use of FEA requires early application in the product development process. Furthermore, extensive specialist knowledge is a crucial prerequisite to perform reliable simulations. Due to time constraints, design accompanying FEA are performed too rarely by experienced simulation engineers or, if they are applied by non-expert simulation users, are not sufficiently accurate. Hence, a feature-based approach is presented, to support and automate the setup of design accompanying simulations.
