Excerpt from Cognitive Complexity and Cad Systems: Beyond the Drafting Board Metaphor
Our central argument is that cad systems should help minimize the cognitive complexity facing the engineer. More specifically, we argue that cad systems should I) assist in managing design-related complexity and 2) be easy to use. To accomplish this goal, we argue that cad systems should.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems can be optimized for the unique needs of engineering design. The author argues that these systems should prioritize minimizing cognitive complexity for engineers and be easy to use. In exploring this concept, the book proposes a series of ideas to refine these ideas, including utilizing a production-like design metaphor, evaluating designs against performance criteria, embedding geometrical constraints, automating routine design tasks, and incorporating natural mappings in controls and displays. The author also provides a case study on the design of blanked and bent sheet metal parts to demonstrate the viability of these ideas. Through its exploration of CAD systems and engineering design, this book presents valuable insights for professionals seeking to improve the effectiveness of CAD systems in engineering workflows. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
