Engineering firms looking to stay at the forefront of innovation must constantly update their processes and methodologies to stay competitive. While using CAD software has been the standard for many years, modern solutions and new techniques can increase productivity and ultimately lead to better product development. That’s where top down engineering comes in.

Top Down Engineering Basics

What Is Top Down Engineering?

According to Techopedia, top down design is the “decomposition of a system into smaller parts in order to comprehend its compositional sub-systems.” Essentially, this means that the end goal or product is established and then the sub-steps and designs are created from there. In the case of CAD, it’s a methodology used to simplify the development of products by using complex interdependencies and relationships between different components.
