An intelligent design method of product scheme innovation

Abstract

The main objective of this intelligent designing research is to provide an astute environment for designers. This type of environment is to be designed and processed so that it is compatible with a person's thoughts. In this environment the designers' thoughts are effectively taken to process functional requirements of products. The concept of designing and evaluating the schemes of the products can be achieved and furthermore optimized, the structure designing and its manufacturability analysis are carried out. This paper studies cell classes of the functions and structures. By the use of artificial intelligent technology the knowledge required and the innovative scheme expressed are developed. As an example, an intelligent design of a motorcycle is used to illustrate the application of the method to produce an innovative scheme. © 2006 Springer.
