Product Form Design

After the European and American countries put forward the modular design in the 1950s, and it become a hot topic again in 2013. Modular design make a well experience for product form design, but it also has its limitation. because of Genetic Algorithm (GA) has the superiority of optimizing and solving, This paper proposes a modular, hierarchical product modelling design based on GA, Using iterative repeated optimization genetic operators to make product modeling design to achieve an optimal form.

Form Scheme

In electromechanical products form design, there still exist problems such as CAD supporting incompletely and low-usage of existent excellent case form information, this paper proposed a comprehensive method of product form design, which integrated morphological matrix, BP network, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Gray Relating Analyze (GRA) and Genetic Algorithms. According to the heritability of product form features, this method deconstructed case product modeling components and form elements to obtain the form features, then the features and feature values of product form were represented by morphologic matrix, finally product form design scheme were combined with reasonable solutions. Grading method and AHP were used to quantify the modeling components feature, form elements and perceptual image vocabularies of case product, and a BP network model was trained for form scheme image prediction. This article constructed the genetic algorithm fitness function with the weighed grey relation grade to optimize the product form scheme based on customers’ requirements. VC++ was applied to develop the design software, the design of electric bicycle form scheme was taken to illustrate the application process of this method.

Product Form Design

Design mode of product form is constructed combining Kansei Engineering (KE) with Ergonomics. KE is used as main technique to transform consumers' feelings and images of shape, size, material, operability of product into design form futures. The main factors and problems of Kansei experiment and Kansei analysis are also identified.Ergonomics acts as the assisting technique for meeting physiological criteria of consumer group. An implement of a product form design was conducted, and then the feasibility of proposed design mode based on KE is discussed which provides related products’ reference to designers.
