These tools can be put in the following categories: knowledge-based engineering, workflow, and collaboration. I(nowledge-based engineering tools provide computational representations of engineering design rules, allowing engineers to execute modeling, an~Liy$is, and optimization far more quickly while

In some cases these trade-offs are resolved by fixing design requirements, which makes design more tractable but increases the chances of noncompetitive solutions because of a restricted ability to trade off design options. Most contemporary design methodologies avoid premature freezing of requirements.

Traditional design engineering is still pursued, but it is less and less isolated by trade-offs and optimization within a discipline-limited set of purely physical variables. This is nowhere more evident than in the linkages of design variables to econon~ic considerations.
