Abstract :
The imprecise design tool (IDT) presented in this paper implements the method of imprecision, which incorporates the designer´s uncertainty in choice into design calculations, using a mathematics derived from fuzzy sets. IDT is intended to be a computational tool for preliminary engineering design
