Summary, in English

This paper describes the potential help that the interactive desktop concept can bring to the execution of embodiment design tasks. The presented project is still in its infancy. The research framework is the following: once a product concept has been approved, the mechanical design engineer develops the product architecture and product part (also called embodiment design). Sketches at that level are essential both for synthesis and analysis purposes. Moreover, the designer has often to collaborate with the production department. The current CAD tools do not allow the same freedom, sensitivity nor the same possibility of communication and understanding the sketch. The interactive desktop is a technical mean that would allow taking into account the majority of the mechanical design engineer needs during embodiment design.
