ABSTRACT
Technical support (TS) includes all products that can assist an engineering designer’s work, the operator “working means.” These products assist in modeling TS(s) (see Figure 10.1), producing, storing, and retrieving drawings and other records, and providing support. Computers have become a major factor in design engineering. The information presented in this chapter is mainly situated in and around the “northeast” quadrant of Figures I.4, I.5, and 12.7.
