COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
Computers & Education, 1981Abstract Engineering design in industry is changing as a result of the application of the new tools provided by the digital computer and interactive computer graphics. This shift is placing new demands on engineering curricula. The engineering graduate today must be trained in the use of the computer and computer graphics as a design tool—in much the

The application of interactive graphics to computer aided circuit design
Computer-Aided Design, 1973Abstract When a computer is used in electric circuit design it forms part of an iterative loop and so the ergonomics of its input and output become of major importance. A circuit analysis program is described, which uses interactive graphics, and which was designed with particular attention given to ergonomics.

Graphical Environments for Computer Aided Control System Design
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1988Abstract The field of graphical environments for the computer-aided design of control systems is surveyed in this paper. It is shown that the principal developments have occurred in the past decade, during which the computing power available, in terms of both hardware and software, has increased rapidly.

Computer Aided Design and Graphics Techniques for EVA Analysis
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1994<div class="htmlview paragraph">The size and complexity of Space Station has driven the need for an accurate, reliable analytical tool to assess the extravehicular activity (EVA) crew interfaces at the worksite. On previous spacecraft, each worksite was developed and validated through Neutral Buoyancy underwater testing by the crew using mockups.

A scheme for the realization of graphical computer aided design systems
Computers in Industry, 1983Abstract We present some of the problems encountered in the study of CAD systems in an electro-mechanical company, and propose a methodology based entirely on a detailed object study. In the first part of this paper we analyse the traditional design process in the company and define the most important functions of a CAD system. In the second part, we

Computer Aided Design of Graphic Symbols
1979Using the example of an alphabet, we have tried to develop graphic symbols such that every image looks different, but in fact belongs to the same visual system defined by a specific grid. Symbols were designed for the following referents: direction, telephone, helicopter, tram, bus, man, woman, smoking, post office, telegram, restaurant, currency ...

Graphics facilities for computer-aided architectural design
Computer-Aided Design, 1974An account is given of the graphics facilities developed by ABACUS for use on an inexpensive storage tube display terminal connected to a timesharing computer. The facilities allow programs to display simple pictures and menus of commands on the terminal as well as to manipulate graphically the geometrcal information common to many schematic design ...

Computer-aided graphical design of spatial mechanisms
Mechanism and Machine Theory, 1995Abstract The paper discusses graphical methods of designing spatial mechanisms on the CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) system through a function-generation problem, a path-generation problem and a motion-generation problem. The results are compared with those by analytical methods. It is shown that spatial mechanisms can be designed by graphical methods

Cross-sectional design: a tool for computer graphics and computer-aided design courses
FIE'99 Frontiers in Education. 29th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference. Designing the Future of Science and Engineering Education. Conference Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.99CH37011, 2003Teaching curve and surface design in a computer graphics or a computer-aided design course is a challenge because of the very involved mathematics, the lack of easy-to-use tools, and the differing abilities of students to visualize three-dimensional objects.
