Sažetak
Evolution and level of product development in modern market demand more efficient approach to product design. A methodology to reduce design delivery time through the overlapping of sequential activities and implementation of engineering knowledge in means of variable CAD models was observed. Different techniques and approaches were observed for understanding of the problem. Custom-built variable model with GUI was compared to the conventional modeling technique on an example problem from the automotive industry. Comparative analysis of modeling techniques shows that there is a significant reduction in the design process. If this approach is used as a framework in the company design process it will definitely lead to downsizing the design time as well as it will optimize the whole engineering process.
