    Abstract

    The application of modern feature based CAD systems has in many companies lead to significant rationalisation of design, particulary the "down stream" acticities such as NC code generation, FEM analysis, mould flow simulation and documentation. The subject of this paper is the "up stream" activities, i.e.the synthesis of designs. One can now ask: what preconditions have to be fulfilled in order to be able to synthesize designs in an interplay with a computer system, a Designer's Workbench (DWB). One precondition seems to be the existence of one or more design languaes or design grammars, thus the designer can "spell" a desig. This paper will propose contents of a design language/design grammar.
