A Novel Rapid Conceptual Design Based on Knowledge Reuse and Evolution
Abstract—Designers often have difficulties in fulfilling rapid
conceptual design for complex products or system due to the
lack of sufficient multi-disciplinary well-structured and
well-evolved knowledge. Therefore, this paper presents a
knowledge-based multi-disciplinary system for the conceptual
design by reusing the knowledge and synthesizing the
evolutionary design methodology (EDM). With the system, the
designers can easily search the existing design data and
successful cases for reusing or evolving the functions and
parameters for the design to meet requirements.
Index Terms—Conceptual design, evolutionary design
methodology, knowledge-based. multi-disciplinary system,
reuse.
