The machines are one of the most important pillars in the industrial economy of the European Union. The aim is to reduce the enormous social price paid for accidents at work, by integration of safe design and construction, as well as proper installation and maintenance.

A harmonized regulatory framework for the design and manufacture of machines is of major economic importance for European industry. At the same time, the safety of machinery makes an important contribution to reducing the social costs of damage to health and accidents at home and workplace.

In this work it is assumed that the results of the conceptual design are presented in the form of extended structural scheme. The structural scheme allows to be supplemented with information that specifies the important decisions which secure the expected functionality of the product. There is a propounded approach to integrate structural scheme, loaded with additional design information, into CAD model. This approach allows to automatically generate CAD models of parts that include skeleton models and mechanical interfaces as well as CAD model of assembly in finished state. This way more realistic CAD models containing the actual geometric relationships between the components would be created. On the other hand, the decisions taken at the conceptual design stage are automatically transferred to the CAD model, which reduces the treadmill work associated with its creation.
