Abstract We have written two pieces of software that are necessary for mechanical engineering design and analysis. These are a CAD-CAM system using Constructive Solid Geometry and a finite element analysis system. Both are unique in that they are written in the symbolic math system MAPLE. All entities in each of these programs are entered symbolically. For example, in the CSG system, we talk about a square whose dimensions are a, b and side1. In the finite element analysis, we talk about a symbolic representation for a regular grid. This scheme has advantages over conventional finite element analysis and Constructive Solid Geometry approaches.
