6. Introduction: 15 years ago, 3-D modeling software was very expensive. $50,000 or more was required for every workstation with software. The SolidWorks® program was among the first solid modeling programs written for Windows in 1995

7. Engineering Design and Solid Modeling: Engineering Design is a process in which fundamentals of math and science are applied to the creation or modification of a product to meet a set of objectives. After World War II, product cycle performed sequentially. From the 1970s through the 1990s, the concept of concurrent engineering became widespread.
