Summary:

The research offices and the automobile systems offices whichbecame highly competitive in the areas of computerized design, fromdesign and manufacturing of defined parts beginning with surfaceareas, have now discovered potentials for informational systemssuggesting creative design and production control.In the same fashion, the power of the calculation units and theincreasing performances of graphics, at constantly diminishingcosts, have allowed planning for use of more complex computers.Thus, the systems designers of CFAO were able to set up thirdgeneration products: after the "2 dimensions" then the"3 dimensions" surface, the "3 dimension"volumetric integrating complex left sides has been put intouse.Relying on examples, one will show how in the automotiveindustry these products allow the following: - better management ofspace that is useful during architectural study of a subassembly:clearance under the hood, installation of driving gears and controlparts in the dashboard, arrangement of the trunk, etc... -optimization of mechanical parts issued from forge or foundry"crudes," thanks to a calculated simplified model by themethod of finished parts, -description of body parts in plastic or,functional and rigid interior forms border the exterior formsissued from the study of the stylist to constitute a complex space,- help in modeling and setting up of robots.The choice of the defining mode of the parts: "elementarysolids," "facetization of surfaces" or "spaceswith complex sides" is directly linked to CFAO applicationsunder the office of research: in the automobile the necessity of anintegration between research offices and sectors of toolsmanufacturing required us to be directed to the third
