Facility
The CDF design room has been designed and equipped with all the relevant hardware and software tools, with the aim of creating an effective communication and data interchange environment among team members.
The CDF facility contains:
- an array of design stations, each dedicated to a specific technical discipline
- data and application servers, providing on-line access to design data and tools
- a multimedia wall containing three large projector screens (One of them been a SMART Board for free hand drawing)
- video-conferencing equipment that enables concurrent engineering to be carried out in a distributed manner
- integrated design model CDF-IDM, which will be replaced in the near future by the Open Concurrent Design Server

Famous quotes containing the word facility:
“Probability but no truth, facility but no freedom—it is owing to these two fruits that the tree of knowledge cannot be confused with the tree of life.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Virtue rejects facility to be her companion.... She requires a craggy, rough and thorny way.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Learning has been as great a Loser by being shut up in Colleges and Cells, and secluded from the World and good Company. By that Means, every Thing of what we call Belles Lettres became totally barbarous, being cultivated by Men without any Taste of Life or Manners, and without that Liberty and Facility of Thought and Expression, which can only be acquir’d by Conversation.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
