Application for Product Functional Model Creation

Abstract

The research presented in this article tackles the problem of creation of functional models by students and young engineers. The problem of usage of paper-pen approach is analysed and described. As a solution the creation of the program application is introduced and described. The application introduces a visual aid for better understanding of available functions and flows. The experiment was conducted to validate the application.
