Computer has been applied into designing process and drawings for a long time. Architects are attempting to get closer to manufacturing in the way of creating detailed drawing as well as better organized design information. Computer simulations are never unconditionally true or false. They must work in social systems of knowledge that include personal, complementary , and competing ways of representing and thinking about architecture.
The advantage of CATIA is that it serves as a "place" where many different kinds of knowledges meet, and where the details of construction are often contributed by consultants and fabricators. CATIA brings together knowledge of construction materials from outside collaborators with schematic information about designs.
The expectation and limitation about computer simulation is due to the various possibilities and assumptions. One simulation, many possible realities. Design involves the negotiation of many social groups, each with its own demands on representations of knowledge. Each social relationship puts simulations in tension in different ways.
The rational way to take advantage of computer simulations is to gain the ability of be intuitive to the designs, to have the sensibility to justify the attribute of each scenario.
