A collection of papers from a conference held at Kings College, London. Computer-based Design focuses on all areas of design using computational methods and examines how all these individual tools can be integrated to produce a coherent design process. This volume also covers areas of manual design methods and modelling that are vital to the continuing development and evolution of the computer-aided design process.

TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE

• Product design and modelling
• Design process
• Decision-making models
• Computer-assisted design systems
• Computer-assisted conceptual design
• Computer-assisted detailed design
• Computer assisted design for manufacture
• Design knowledge manipulation
• Engineering change
• Engineering design issues
• Fuzzy design
• Computer-aided design
• Industrial applications of design
• Advanced design applications
• Computational fluid dynamics

Computer-based Design provides an excellent opportunity for an update on the latest techniques and developments from concept to advanced application in the design arena.
