Abstract

The chapter “Modeling Techniques in CAD”, includes a detailed introduction of design methods within the CAD environment. Structures and strategies of wireframe, surface and solid modeling are presented and discussed in terms of their application in collaborative product development processes. Beyond the application of primary CAD functionalities, this chapter uses specific examples from the automotive industry to present a variety of methods for the efficient creation of mechanical components and assemblies.
