A process model FPBS for conceptual design is put forward. The function and behavior etc about the model are defined and analyzed, and the expressions are analyzed too. The relationships of elements, the application of model are discussed and analyzed. The model can be effective used to guide conceptual design and applied to construct computer aided conceptual design system.

Abstract This paper presents a summary of research into the development and implementation of a domain independent, computer-based model for the conceptual design of complex mechanical systems (Ouellette, 1992). The creation of such a design model includes the integration of four major concepts: (1) The use of a graphical display for visualizing the conceptual design attributes; (2) The proper representation of the complex data and diverse knowledge required to design the system; (3) The integration of quality design methods into the conceptual design; and (4) The modeling of the conceptual design process as a mapping between functions and forms. Using the design of an automobile as a case study, a design environment was created which consisted of a distributed problem solving paradigm and a parametric graphical display. The requirements of the design problem with respect to data representation and design processing were evaluated and a process model was specified. The resulting vehicle design system consists of a tight integration between a blackboard system and a parametric design system. The completed system allows a designer to view graphical representations of the candidate conceptual designs that the blackboard system generates.

An effort is made to give a description of a computer-aided conceptual design system. A novel Function-Action-Behavior-Mechanism (FABM) modeling framework is proposed to realize mapping from the overall function to principle solution according to customer’s requirements. Expansion and modification rules in the demand behavior are developed to extend the innovation of principle solution. A case study on pan mechanism design for cooking robot is presented to show the procedure of how to implement the intelligent reasoning based on the FABM model.

The Creation

Abstract This paper describes the computer aided design system Modessa. Modessa is developed to support multi-disciplinary design teams in the conceptual design phase. Modessa is based on the “morphological design method” which decomposes the design problem into a number of so called functions. Then several alternatives are identified for each of these functions. These alternatives are visualized using pictures and arranged by function in a matrix which results in a so called “morphological overview”. Finally the alternatives are evaluated based on the customer requirements. The best alternatives for each function are combined to form the optimum solution for the design problem. Modessa supports multi-disciplinary design teams during the conceptual design process by: - Suggesting known design alternatives for design functions, thus leaving more time for the creation of novel design alternatives. - Offering a “common language” to objectively evaluate the design alternatives. - Simplifying the creation and reuse of the conceptual design documentation. Modessa is general purpose in nature and can be used for a wide variety of design applications. The kernel of Modessa is a design knowledge database that increases continuously as design teams add new functions (problems) and appropriate alternatives (solutions). In this paper the use of Modessa is illustrated by an industrial design example.

Abstract One of the crucial issues for developing computer aided conceptual design system is representation of functions which represent designers’ intention. Representing functions is also crucial not only for representing design objects but also for describing conceptual design processes, in which designers operate mainly functional concepts. Namely, function is a key concept to integrate object modeling and process modeling in design. In this paper, first we extend the FBS (Function-Behavior-State) diagram, which we have already proposed, by introducing three additional concepts for representing a function; namely, function body that represents designers’ intention directly, function modifier that qualifies a function body, and objective entity on which the function body occurs. This extended FBS diagram, called FBS/m (modifier) diagram, enables us to represent designers’ intention more precisely than the original FBS diagram. Then, we propose an FEP (Functional Evolution Process) model to represent design processes. In the FEP model, the FBS model of a design object is evolved through three steps, i.e., functional actualization, functional evaluation and functional operation. Functional actualization depicts a process to obtain physical descriptions from functional description. Functional evaluation is a process to measure realizability of functions of the design object. Functional operation is a process to operate functions to improve the design. Based on the FEP model, we analyze some actual design processes, and show that the FEP model is suitable for representing designers’ intention along with design processes.

Tree Method

The divergent tree method was adopted in this paper, and an illustrative example of tool storage design in the machining center was given to describe the divergent thinking in the conceptual design process of mechanical products. Firstly general divergent tree method was applied to get various schemes of storage, then the primary schemes were achieved by using the measure of known characteristics, finally the excellent degree appraisal approach was applied to find out the optimum one. In addition, an intelligent computer aided conceptual design system of tool storage based on the divergent tree method and excellent degree appraisal approach was demonstrated in this paper.
