Abstract
Designers are under increasing pressure to deliver better, cheaper pro ducts in less time. To the designer of low-volume or one-off products, using past designs and catalogued components is often essential. Litt le software support exists early in the design process for designers w anting to use catalogued components. Most information on off-the-shelf solutions has to be gleaned from component manufacturers catalogues. Searching a large number of paper- or computer-based catalogues soon b ecomes unwieldy and inefficient. This paper describes a method to assi st designers in selecting components early in the design process. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
