Introduction

The eld of design automation (DA) technology, also commonly called computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided engineering (CAE), involves developing computer programs to conduct portions of product design and manufacturing on behalf of the designer. Competitive pressures to produce more efciently new generations of products having improved fu
