Overview of the CAD division

Research areas

Research areas include the development of systems supporting design and construction. 

The CAD research area provides advice on the selection of CAD and FEM systems and organizes CAD training courses. Research is currently focused on the development of an active semantic design system and a development-accompanying design system for rapid prototyping.

Projects

Heiko Graf, IMA

The semantic networking of existing knowledge in the early phases of product development as realized in subproject B1 of the Collaborative Research Center 374 with the help of the software prototype of the Active Semantic Design and Reliability Network is to be tested in industrial implementation.
