Design Theory and Methods using CAD/CAE

The Computer Aided Engineering Design Series

Kuang-Hua Chang, Dr. Kuang-Hua Chang is the Williams Presidential Professor in the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AME) at the University of Oklahoma.

This is the fourth part of a four-part series, which aims at integrating discussion of modern engineering design principles, advanced design tools, and industrial design practices throughout the design process. This will comprise the first book to integrate discussion of computer design tools throughout the design process. Through this book series, the reader will

understand basic design principles and all digital modern engineering design paradigms.
understand CAD/CAE/CAM tools available for various design related tasks.
understand how to put an integrated system together to conduct All Digital Design (ADD) product design using the paradigms and tools.
understand industrial practices in employing ADD virtual engineering design and tools for product development.
