From embodiment generation to virtual prototyping

The Embodiment Generation project at Cambridge Engineering Design Centre is researching the creation of software tools to aid the designer in the rapid generation and evaluation of feasible embodiment designs. This involves managing a large set of design variables connected by various types of constraints. Using a product model and a library of generic components, tools have previously been produced to support the specification and satisfaction of design constraints (CADET [9]) and the solution of kinematic constraints (Promech [2]).
