... Thus, the use of computer-aided systems that assist design teams could potentially reduce product cost and time-to-market. Computer-aided systems for materials selection could assist concurrent engineering activities by helping to resolve many of the materials dilemmas presented during the initial design phase and by helping to guide the selection process based on the data and experience compiled from previous product development.

... recommended materialsspecific applications and developments in database, knowledge base, and Laterals modeling that would aid the production of a knowledge element appropriate for computer-aided systems for materials selection during design. During the study, the committee examined engineering-related design decisions involving geometry or spatial relationships to determine how design rules incorporated materials data and how assessments of performance, 'Computer-Aided Acquisition and Logistics Support is a threw phase program that requires: (1)

... The committee composed this report for the study's sponsors: the Department of Defense and National Aero 9 nautics and Space Administration. However, the committee also recognized that the report's audience included: · structural engineers, matenals technologists, and computer technologists in the sponsoring government R&D agencies who fiend research, reduce technological barriers to agency projects and missions, and enable the transition of technology into products and processes; structural, matenals, and computer scientists and engineers engaged in university and industrial R&D who strive to innovate in order to overcome technological barriers, demonstrate technological advancements, and enable the transition of technology into products and processes; and · product design teams who aspire to maximize the quality of the design process and the resultant value of the product to the ultimate customer: the product's user.
