AN INTEGRATED STACK-UP ANALYSIS TOOL
Corallo, A.; Lazoi ,M.; Pascali ,G. // 2012
Stack-up analysis is a technique used to evaluate tolerance chains created joining the physical elements of a product during its design and it is used to check problems in the final assembly for ...
APPLICATION OF SENSITIVITIES ON SIMULATION-DATA-BASED METAMODELS DURING THE PRODUCT SYNTHESIS
Ziegler, P.; Breitsprecher, T.; Walter,M.; Westphal, C.; Wartzack, S. // 2012
This research work focusses on a methodology to support the product developer at the product synthesis, which can be implemented in a design support tool. The method uses metamodels, which can ...
APPLYING BIOINFORMATICS ANALYSIS PRINCIPLES TO CAD DATA TO BETTER CHARACTERIZE AND IMPROVE THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS
Nguyen, P. T.; Steinert, M.; Carroll, A.; Leifer, L. // 2012
We propose to systematically collect CAD data from users and to analyse them algorithmically in order to understand, model and improve engineering Design processes. We classify designers in this case ...
Classifying components based on change propagation potential
Grinnell, R.; Schmidt III, R.; Austin, S. // 2012

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
