Frequently Asked Question

Design automation are the collection of design practices that allows for automating the design process. Typically this is done through the use of parametric models. For example, you can create a cad model of a part with built-in parameters, such as critical dimensions. Then whenever we need a new part, instead of starting from scratch, now a non-skilled worker can select the appropriate values for the parameters according to the requirements to generate a single combination part automatically.

All the parts that derive from a single parametric model are often referred to as a family of parts.
