Abstract

Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems are now indispensable in many industries, such as mechanical, aeronautical, electrical, automobile, architectural, and chemical industries. Particularly in mechanical engineering where geometrical information is dominant, CAD has become not optional but necessary. Recent advances of artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge engineering technology have given a new direction for CAD, i.e., so-called intelligent CAD systems (ICAD). ICAD is advocated to be a promising approach to converting the designer’s power to more essential and creative phases of design. However, unfortunately the state of the art is such that anything relevant to improving conventional CAD is called ICAD.
