The objective of this project is to develop a concurrent design system in support of product modelling and to apply it within a user environment.

Results will include:

-a methodology for concurrent design activities within a design project
- a prototype for a new generation CAD system
- extending standard parts to standard solutions supporting concurrent design
- a central data model, a basic conferencing tool and a design management tool.

The project draws upon the results of ESPRIT project 322 (CAD*I), in which the university partner was directly involved.

One of the collaborating companies will use the results from the project to develop its next-generation product, while another will generate sets of libraries of standard solutions, which will also be available to other CAD systems.
