Abstract
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) has been used in industry for several decades. Many innovative approaches and methodologies have been introduced. Most of them, such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), concurrent engineering (CE), and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/A), have been implemented with varying degrees of success and complexity. The trend has moved from component-based design (e.g., looking at one element of the entire product design and production cycle) to system-based design (e.g., looking at the entire design and process cycle). Direct engineering is an aggressive and innovative concept that seeks to improve the entire life cycle of production by developing a system that dynamically integrates all of the key components from stage A (product design) to stage Z (the final manufactured product). DE aims for variant design but also can be extended to generative design.
