Abstract
The paper describes an integrated process of design of configurable products, on example of a city bus, comprising of two stages: configuration of a product variant with client participation and preparation of appropriate technical documentation in the design division of a company. The configuration stage is realized in a special, VR-class system—Virtual Design Studio (VDS). The technical documentation preparation stage is automated, by use of intelligent, generative CAD models, developed in the Autodesk Inventor software. They allow to save time of engineering design. The paper presents operation of the VDS system, process of building generative CAD models and integration of both stages.
