COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OF BODY ROOF SIDE RAIL

Using the Body Roof Side Rail as a typical design project, manual and Computer Aided Design graphics techniques were compared to explore the design areas for effective utilization of Computer Aided Design techniques. Computer Aided Design techniques were demonstrated to be most effective in reducing data acquisition efforts, in relieving the designer of noncreative design tasks, and in reduced real time design when coupled with an orderly approach to Computer Aided Design. /GMRL/
