A NEW APPROACH FOR GESTURE-BASED SKETCHING

Diehl, H.; Lindemann, U.; Müller, F.; Schneider, S. // 2004
Tools for engineering design like CAD don´t support creativity in the early design phases. Instead, paper based sketches are still the conceptual designer’s first choice for fixing his ideas. ...

A NEW CONCEPT OF SUPPORTING COMPLEX MODEL BUILDING IN VAGUE DISCRETE INTERVAL MODELLING

Rusák, Z.; Horváth, I. // 2004
To support shape conceptualization vague discrete interval modelling is proposed. Dedicated operators (i.e. positioning and constrained instantiation operators) are being developed to assist the ...

A NEW LIFE CYCLE MODEL FOR THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PROCESS

Coatanea, Eric; Areille, Jean V. // 2004
Life cycle considerations and design options are hardly quantitatively taken into consideration during the conceptual design phase. In order to provide the type of information required to make ...

A NEW METHOD FOR SELECTION AND DESIGN OF COMPOSITE ELEMENTS FOR IMPACT LOADING

Dobrucki, K.; Rohatynski, R. // 2004

ACHIEVING FIRST DESIGN EXPERIENCES

Jänsch, J.F.P.; Sauer, T.; Birkhofer, H. // 2004
Design students often do not have the chance to gain the first project experiences at university. They learn about design methods, project management and many other engineering subjects. However, ...

Boolean Searches

The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:

  • design community
    Find rows that contain at least one of the two words.
  • +design +community
    Find rows that contain both words.
  • +design community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”.
  • +design -community
    Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”.
  • +design ~community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not.
  • +design +(>community <decisions)
    Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions”
  • design*
    Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”.
  • "some words"
    Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
