Leading the creative process: the case of virtual product design

Objectives: Ceramic product design is a process that is the most purposeful, practical and aesthetic product system design made of ceramic materials. It is a creative process of conception, behavior and realization. Design is a creative process, and the power of creativity comes from the use of creative thinking by designers. As a kind of design type, ceramic design, in the face of constantly updated market environment and market demand, naturally cannot exist independently from creative thinking. Methods: The innovative design of ceramic products, once accepted by the society, is not only the decisive factor for the quality leap of ceramic products, but also an important condition for ceramic products to gain competitive advantage in sales. The application of ceramic decorative art in modern decorative design is undoubtedly a new fashion element in the development of modern decorative design. Results: Based on the perspective of the style characteristics of product design, this paper interprets the ceramic decorative art and studies the combination of ceramic product design and creative thinking. Conclusion: In the process of design, creative thinking is used to show the value of products, which provides inexhaustible power for the innovation and development of product design.

Virtual Product

In this Chapter, a novel integrated intelligent framework is first proposed for virtual engineering design and development based on the soft computing and hybrid intelligent techniques. Then, an evolutionary neuro-fuzzy (EFNN) model is developed and used for supporting modeling, analysis and evaluation, and optimization tasks in the design process, which combines fuzzy logic with neural networks and genetic algorithms. The developed system HIDS-EFNN provides a unified integrated intelligent environment for virtual engineering design and simulation. The focus of this Chapter is to present a hybrid intelligent approach with evolutionary neuro-fuzzy modeling and its applications in virtual product design, customization and simulation (product performance prediction). Case studies are provided to illustrate and verify the proposed model and approach.

Virtual Product

AbstractTo successfully facilitate user-centred design, a multitude of different aspects has to be considered, from purely physiological to psychological-emotional factors. The overall aim is to increase the customer satisfaction by enhancing the fit between products and their users in the respective context of use. Further virtualisation of user-centred design processes holds the potential to convey the concepts of frontloading and predictive engineering from classical product engineering. Our vision is to facilitate a comprehensive consideration of user-product interactions in virtual product engineering operationalised by the mission to develop methods and tools to assess and design user-product interactions according to physiological and psychological aspects. A variety of work has already been done to model musculoskeletal user groups, to configure, predict, simulate and optimise physical user-product interactions, to integrate such models into CAD or to map individual subjective values to product design. Nevertheless, there are still research areas to be addressed to enable a comprehensive implementation of the mentioned approach. These are discussed in the present contribution.
