  • The design capture system : capturing back-of-the-envelope sketches

    Creator:
    Hwang, Teng-shang
    Abstract:
    A system which allows the computer to capture sketches made by a mechanical designer is described. The system not only recognizes basic features as they are sketched, but it also reasons the spatial relationships between features and builds a high level abstract representation (feature model) of the artifact. The temporal...

  • Utilizing emergent web-based software tools as an effective method for increasing collaboration and knowledge sharing in collocated student design teams

    Creator:
    Koch, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Over the last few decades, the methods and tools through which humans collaborate, share knowledge and generally communicate have been advancing at a rapid pace. Thanks mostly to advances in broadband internet, cheap data storage and fast microprocessors, humans now have the ability to work together in ways that even...

  • An object oriented representation for mechanical design based on constraints

    Creator:
    McGinnis, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    A representation for the process of mechanical design, along with its computer implementation is presented and discussed. The representation consists of three fundamental concepts: design objects, constraints, and decisions. The design objects are the structures with which the physical artifacts of the design are described. A design object consists of...

  • A computer-based design history tool

    Creator:
    Chen, Ai-hua
    Abstract:
    In current practice, design documentation often fails to support the activities of design understanding, communication, and redesign. A Design History Tool has been developed to improve current design documentation. This tool is a computerized design history that represents and plays back important information generated during the process of designing a...

  • SketchPad for Windows : an intelligent and interactive sketching software

    Creator:
    Gulur, Sudheendra S.
    Abstract:
    The sketching software developed in this thesis, is aimed to serve as an intelligent design tool for the conceptual design stage of the mechanical design process. This sketching software, Sketch Pad for Windows, closely mimics the traditional paper-and-pencil sketching environment by allowing the user to sketch freely on the computer...
