DFX 2022 33rd SYMPOSIUM DESIGN FOR X
The 33rd DfX Symposium will take place on 22nd & 23rd September 2022 in Hamburg.. DFX 2022 offers young scientists a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches for improving product development.
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:
In today's concept development, it is important to develop customer requirements in advance via prototypes with little effort. Some of these requirements can be pre-tested through virtual product development, although creating them with computer aided design (CAD) software can be time-consuming. In the context of this work, tools commonly used in animation design are adapted to the early phase of virtual product development. This is primarily to limit the time effort of prototyping in product development. However, the models must be led to non-intersecting 3D manifolds to ensure a transfer into computer aided engineering (CAE) or possible manufacturing. Therfore in this work, so-called procedural designs based on computer graphic applications are described and examined for their suitability for CAE.
