✦ Synopsis

Product Design Modeling using CAD/CAE is the third part of a four-part series. It is the first book to integrate discussion of computer design tools throughout the design process. Through this book, you will:

• Understand basic design principles and all digital design paradigms
• Understand computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) tools available for various design-related tasks
• Understand how to put an integrated system together to conduct all-digital design (ADD)
