Interactive Graphic Techniques For Conceptual Engineering Design.

Abstract

Conceptual design is the initial and most creative phase of an engineering design project. The effective use of interactive computer graphics to enhance this design phase is dependent upon a highly developed interaction between the designer and the computer. This paper presents an analysis of the environment of conceptual design and proposes techniques for the creation of a successful man-machine interface which fosters the use of interactive computer graphics.
