Configuration of Complex Custom Products in Early Design Phases Using Dependencies Systems

摘要

This chapter describes an optimized methodology for fast, high-quality design of individual customized products in the field of mechanical engineering. Furthermore, it explains the important role of the configuration in the early design phases. The use of dependencies systems is suggested as a solution for breaking down the product complexity, as well as for the visualization of the product parameters and for the methodical solving of goal conflicts in the configuration process.
