| Abstract |
Design process in an interdisciplinary domain like
mechatronics is a complex process and sets high demands for
designer. It is wide known that decisions in conceptual stage of
design process affect final product significantly. Therefore great
attention for this phase of design must be paid. The paper gives
an overview of the product development process focusing on the
conceptual stage and the methodologies and techniques used.
An object-oriented approach based on the combination of
different techniques is proposed. Quicker conceptual design
solutions, optimized design candidates, and well formalized
customer needs are the main benefits of the new approach for
the conceptual design process. |
