Set-based design (SBD) is a methodology that systematically explores a broad design space by concurrently considering multiple design alternatives before progressively narrowing the choices. This ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 49, No. 7, Intelligent Management Systems in Operations (Jul., 1998), pp. 758-765 (8 pages) Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a systematic approach ...

Concurrent Engineering is a process focussed on optimising engineering design cycles, which complements and partially replaces the traditional sequential design-flow by integrating multidisciplinary ...

When designers address the power requirements and constraints for an FPGA-based design earlier in the development process, it can yield significant competitive advantage in the final implementation of ...

An engineer with limited FEA experience and no library of best practices to guide him tried to mesh a thin-walled bike frame with solid elements rather than using more appropriate beam elements. Most ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

The advent of the virtual processor model (VPM) has led to dramatic improvements in the capabilities of modeling systems. In a future dominated by systems, there will ...

Designing the customer and user experience is essential to creating great products today. Gone is the old paradigm of “form follows function” model of design. The process must be iterative and follow ...
