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:
Existing products are analysed in order to develop the functionality of new products. This is done using extensive manual methods, although digitally processable product models, such as the CAD model, can be used as input for the analysis. To reduce the effort for analysing products functionality, this publication is investigating whether functional relations can be automatically retrieved from CAD models. This is done by implementing a working prototype for functional relations retrieval. All corresponding algorithms are evaluated using a gearbox CAD model with 27 components.
