An Efficient CAD Methodology for Glove Box Design

While the globalization has led to an increase of the competition in the automobile market, customer requirements have increased and products have to satisfy higher standards. All this drives companies to shorten their product development cycles while boosting innovation. In order to reach this objective, reusing knowledge as well as focusing on creative tasks while automating routine tasks has proven to be a successful approach. As independent engineering partner, EDAG GmbH & Co. KGaA, develops advanced methods and tools in order to keep its processes continuously efficient. This paper presents some methodologies for accelerating mechanical design using knowledge based techniques with the CAD System NX. A knowledge based concept for efficient design is presented and validated with the process of glove box development.
