SPP 732: Innovative rechnerunterstützte Konstruktionsprozesse

从需求定义到详细设计阶段，设计过程具有多个迭代循环的特点。尤其是在具体设计阶段，几何和材料之间的依赖关系要求设计和计算的交互作用。对更短的产品开发的需求要求交叉链接和交互的产品开发过程。循序渐进的方法是无效的。优先方案“创新的计算机辅助设计过程”调查了体现设计和计算的一体化。它的目标是在设计过程的所有阶段在CAD和分析软件之间进行双向或交叉链接的交互的新概念。研究项目的重点是联系设计和实施设计方法、计算和信息技术。面向方法和面向对象的方法被应用来覆盖研究主题的宽度，并在一般的灵活级别以及具体的示范级别支持设计者。

From the definition of requirements to the detail design phase the design process is characterised by many iterative loops. Especially during the phase of embodiment design the dependencies between geometry and material require the interaction of design and calculation. The demand for shorter product development requires a cross-linked and interactive product development process. A sequential approach ist not effective. The priority programme "Innovative Computer-Aided Design Processes" investigates the integration of embodiment design and calculation. It aims at new concepts of bi-directional or cross-linked interactions between CAD- and analysis software during all phases of the design process. The research projects focuses on linking design and embodiment design methodologies, calculation and information technology. Method-oriented and object-oriented approaches are applied to cover the width of the research topic and to support the designer at a general flexible level, as well as a concrete exemplary level.
