N2 - In this paper a concurrent design methodology is applied for developing a wrist rehabilitation device as a case study, by using geometric and topologic optimization techniques. The objective is to evaluate the proficiency of this methodology as an alternative to solve real word design problems. The case study was selected because it can be carried out as an optimization problem from a structural point of view, including simultaneously the selection of the material and the dimensional synthesis. The goal is to obtain a virtual optimized prototype that can be tested by traditional techniques, such as the finite element method. The simulation results were satisfactory, suggesting that concurrent design can be a useful tool for solving engineering problems.
