Computer Graphics Symposium, Phoenix, AZ, April 24, 1982, Proceedings
Abstract
The hardware, programming, applications, and effectiveness of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided engineering (CAE) were examined. Basic concepts and options for graphics software were considered, along with display functions and languages, particularly extensions to BASIC. Attention was given to human factors in designing computer graphics systems, and trade-offs in designing a graphics display were explored. Real-time applications which were detailed included aerial combat simulation in the Air Force and data system displays in nuclear power plants, and the integration of CAM geometric systems and the design of CAD/CAM circuit boards were reviewed. Finally, analyses were presented on the role of computer graphics in geographical research and finite element analysis.
