Abstract
The paper presents our work concerning the INDO (INtelligent Design Optimizer) system. This system is currently being developed trying to automate to the maximum level the design labours in engineering.
A first prototype is already being developed with Smalltalk V in a personal computer showing almost all capacities of the final system. Details and examples about the prototype are shown in the final paragraphs.
