• Resumen

  • The main objective of product design is to meet the functional requirements. Given the alternatives in the selection of materials, product configuration, the required manufacturing and assembly methods, and costs, design needs to satisfy various constraints imposed on these selections. To solve constraints in design, representation of constraints is a challenge facing the design engineers. This paper reviews the current literature on the modelling of constraints in product design. It also discusses several constraint-based design methods.
