Abstract :
The flexible integration approach intended for the construction of open, tightly integrated CAD systems is presented. The conception of the approach, which is based on maximum flexibility of tool integration methods, design data representation, and data processing, is described in detail. Additionally, experiences in using flexible integration for the development of the CADS framework is reported
