Abstract
The prevailing Computer Aided Design/Engineering (CAD/CAE) systems are mainly for modelling, representation, simulation and evaluation purposes. However, future design support systems are expected to support more design tasks, including conceptual design activities. It can be expected that a wide range of new systems called Computer Aided Conceptual Design (CACD) systems will emerge and be used as front-end processors for traditional CAD systems. One of the conceptual design activities that should be supported by future CACD systems is shape conceptualisation. One of the main challenges of computer based shape conceptualisation lies in development of designer-shape interaction methods and tools that would provide the desirable support. This paper presents our research work in this area, which has so far been mainly on exploration of the potential technological solutions to interaction problems of modelling in conceptual design. We present desirable characteristic features for interaction in shape conceptualisation and describe a possible functionality of a CACD system.
