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:
Engineering software is evolving through the integration of artificial intelligence, creating new opportunities for enhanced assistance within product development. This paper proposes a use context model to systematically align and classify the functionalities of Generative Engineering and Design software with respect to the combination of product development phase, the nature of the task, and the level of support provided. Based on this model, a methodological guideline is proposed, offering a structured framework for the development and application of these tools in product development.
