Abstract
Once the concepts of a material object are established, the act of designing consists on choosing the values for the quantities that prescribe the object, or dimensioning. These quantities are called Design Variables. A particular value assumed by the design variables defines a configuration. The design must meet Constraints given by physical or others limitations. We have a feasible configuration if all the constraints are satisfied.
