Supporting change processes in design: Complexity, prediction and reliability
TL;DR: This paper characterises product change based on studies in the aerospace and automotive industry and introduces tools to aid designers in understanding the potential effects of change and two ways of supporting designers are described: probabilistic prediction of the effects ofchange and visualisation of change propagation through product connectivities.
References to past designs
TL;DR: Think and talking by reference to past designs serves as a way to reduce the overwhelming complexity of complex design tasks by enabling designers to use parsimonious mental representations to which details can be added as needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape Recognition in Three Dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the sub-shape recognition problem for 3D shapes under linear transformations is considered, and procedures for its solution for general shapes are developed, and an outline of a procedure for determining the symmetries of a shape is presented.
