CAD +software can be used to redesign the layout of homes without needing to +physically alter the home.

I don't think this type of design is as +closely related to this chapter because it assists with the production of goods +rather than running simulations. CAD can be used to design a manufacturing +system that is aided by computers but I don't think that CAM itself is a type of +computer modeling. + Chapter 14: Chapter 15: -- cgit v1.2.3
