Early conceptual design is one of the most important stages in vehicle product development. At this stage, various iterations of design, analysis, validation, and confirmation need to be carried out with limited and constantly changing vehicle design information. To overcome this difficulty, computer aided design tools are widely used. Various parametric concept models are created and employed to increase the number of design iterations and reduce the design cycle time. However, two of the most common challenges still exist: 1) how to build a parametric model that is flexible and robust while maintaining adequate accuracy, and 2) how to easily manipulate the model based on limited dimensional and geometrical input available at early design stages. In this paper, a parametric modeling and controlling method is presented. It has been developed to generate and manipulate a parametric vehicle concept model for vehicle design at early design stages. This method greatly improves the flexibility and robustness of the parametric concept model, and allows easy modifications of the model based on the limited available input.

We introduce the Concept→Model→Graph→View Cycle (CMGVC). The CMGVC facilitates coherent architecture analysis, reasoning, insight, and decision making based on conceptual models that are transformed into a generic, robust graph data structure (GDS). The GDS is then transformed into multiple views of the model, which inform stakeholders in various ways. This GDS-based approach decouples the view from the model and constitutes a powerful enhancement of model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The CMGVC applies the rigorous foundations of Category Theory, a mathematical framework of representations and transformations. We show that modeling languages are categories, drawing an analogy to programming languages. The CMGVC architecture is superior to direct transformations and language-coupled common representations. We demonstrate the CMGVC to transform a conceptual system architecture model built with the Object Process Modeling Language (OPM) into dual graphs and a stakeholder-informing matrix that stimulates system architecture insight.

Abstract Bayesian decision theory provides a simple formal elucidation of some of the ways that representation and representational abstraction are involved with, and exploit, both prediction and its rather distant cousin, predictive coding. Both model-free and model-based methods are involved.
