Abstract:
The conceptual design phase of the product development period involves the completion of functional, structural and behavioural construction of the artifact. A drawback of designing the artifact in functional domain is the possibility of generation of physically unrealizable solutions. The automation of the conceptual design phase at functional level necessitates the development of an intelligent search strategy. For this purpose, this paper introduces an evolutionary strategy and its computer implementation for the functional level conceptual design of engineering products.
