Abstract	This paper presents an overview of our system to support computer-aided conceptual design of mechatronic assemblies in a collaborative, multi-user environment. CUP (Conceptual Understanding and Prototyping) allows design engineers to develop a high-level structure-behavior-function (S-B-F) descriptions of an assembly in a Java3D/VRML-based virtual environment. Our goal is to enable users to navigate intricate product data management (PDM) and case-based design knowledge-bases, providing the ability to perform design at the conceptual level and have intelligent CAD tools that can access details from large repositories of previous designs. Conceptual design, as shown in Figure 1 (a), is the initial phase of the product design process, when product development teams (consisting of design engineers, manufacturing engineers, marketing and management personnel) perform the \back-of-the-envelope" calculating, sketching and planning\| eshing out\|of their initial product concept. Figure 1 (b) shows that the design phase of the product realization process has a tremendous impact on the life-cycle cost of a product. This work furthers research e orts in supporting collaborative design, in particular drawing on work in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW). We envision CUP to be a network interface to next-generation engineering PDM systems and CAD databases. We are currently planning to deploy CUP as the query interface to the National Design Repository (http://repos.mcs.drexel.edu). This will enable CAD users to interrogate large legacy databases (models and assemblies) and identify artifacts with structural and functional similarities, aiding designers during case-based and variant design.
