On the Support of Design Process Management in Integrated Design Environment

Abstract The computer-aided design process management is noticed as an intelligent feature of modern integrated CADCAM systems. This paper addresses this problem in the context of developing an integrated software environment for designing and manufacturing of mechanical systems. Emphasis is placed on the discussion of the design process management concepts and computer (or data) model which structures and represents various kinds of design process related information. An experimental implementation for CADCAM of compound cam mechanisms has been made, which gives verification of the idea.
