SELECTING AND COMBINING METHODS FOR COMPLEX PROBLEM SOLVING WITHIN THE DESIGN PROCESS
Franke, H.-J.; Deimel, M. // 2004
The paper describes two approaches to select easily methods for the support of single working steps within the design process. Further, it is essential for the desired support of the entire process, ...
SELECTION AND MODIFICATION OF CONNECTIONS
Klett, J.; Blessing, L. // 2004
Products should be optimized through improving the functionality of connections and the process of (dis-)connecting. Also the complexity of connections is considered. At present no established ...
Selection of Optimal Combinations of Solution Principles from a Morphological Diagram
Gilboa, Y.; Weiss, M. P.; Cohen, A. // 2004
SHAPE MODIFICATION OF SCULPTED GEOMETRIC MODELS OF ARBITRARY TOPOLOGY
Veelo, B.N. // 2004
The challenges that a designer faces in modelling shapes of arbitrary topology, are well supported by the so-called H-rep concept, which is based on the tangent plane continuous interpolation of an ...
SHARING NEW KNOWLEDGE: NEW FORMS OF RESEARCH
Takken, R.; Whitman, P. // 2004
This paper examines how knowledge derived from practice may be viewed as a valid form of research in the architectural profession, and questions how this knowledge is disseminated. Barriers to the ...
SIMULATING DESIGN PROCESSES TO INCREASE MANAGERS' UNDERSTANDING
O'Donovan, B.; Eckert, C.; Clarkson, P.J. // 2004
Beginning a design project is challenging. Managers need to understand where the risks lie in the new process. They need to plan tasks and allocate resources to them. Most products are designed by ...
SIMULATION IN PRODUCT DESIGN: AN ITERATIVE QUESTION-ANSWER DRIVEN PROCESS
Andersson, K. // 2004
In order to support a question-answer driven simulation process, a design process model capable of describing problem statements, model specifications, simulation models and problem answers as ...
SIMULATION OF AN ADAPTIVE ER DAMPER SUPPORTED BY AN EFFECT-CATALOG
Kahlert, M.; Iriondo, A.; Schweiger, W. // 2004
In the early stages of design the computer-aided modelling support is still insufficient. It is here shown as an efficient tool for material selection criteria, an effect-catalogue followed by a ...
SIMULATION OF PRODUCTS LIFE CYCLE: METHODOLOGICAL BASIS AND ANALYSIS MODELS
Giudice, F.; La Rosa, G.; Risitano, A.; Strazzeri, G. // 2004
The aim of this work consists of developing a methodological basis and the models for analysis, to allow the simulation of products life cycle at the design stage. The direct link between design ...
SITUATED DESIGN COMPUTING: INTRODUCTION AND IMPLICATIONS
Gero, J. S. // 2004
This paper describes some of the limitations of current design computing. It then proceeds to introduce fundamental notions of situated design computing followed by the description of some ...
Size Ranges in Modular Products - A Financial Approach
Ginsburg, Alexander; Börjesson, Fredrik; Erixon, Gunnar // 2004
SKILLING ENGINEERING STUDENTS SOFTLY: A REVIEW ON THE EDUCATION PROGRAM “TUTORENSYSTEM GARCHING”
Baumberger, G.C.; Lindemann, U. // 2004
SOFT APPROACH TO COMPUTER AIDED OPTIMIZATION
TARNOWSKI, W. // 2004
SOME CONSIDERATION ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL DEONTOLOGY OF DESIGNERS
Biggioggero, G.F.; Rovida, E. // 2004
The steps to a professional deontology are as follows:
a) determination of the “terminal behaviour” ( professional ability of the designer that shall be described carefully and completely)
b) ...
SOME CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT DESIGN EDUCATION
Rovida, E.; Fargnoli, M. // 2004
On the basis of the great attention paid by companies' research centres and public bodies' research departments to Design Science in recent years, it is becoming a fundamental topic in ...
SPECULATIVE DESIGN FUTURES: BLUE SKY FUTURE FORECASTING WITHIN AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMME
Sommerville, S. // 2004
Stage-Gate™ vs. DPD in software development
Ottosson, S. // 2004
Product Development is complex as it is time dependent and many agents participate during the development process. When comparing the efficiency of development processes - measured e.g. in ...
STREAMLINED COSTING AND TARGETING OF PRODUCT FUNCTIONS IN VALUE ANALYSIS
Armillotta, A.; Mengoli,D. // 2004
Function analysis is a critical step in product redesign projects based on the Value Analysis methodology. The paper deals with how a product can be more readily and effectively described at the ...
STRUCTURAL DESIGN LEARNING BY BUILDING REDUCED MODELS
Mohamed, A.; Drean, M.; Couden, J.; Fauroux, J-C. // 2004
STUDIES OF INTUITIVE INTERACTION EMPLOYING OBSERVATION AND CONCURRENT PROTOCOL
Blackler, A.; Popovic, V.; Mahar, D. // 2004
This paper explores intuitive interaction with products from a methodological standpoint. Intuitive use of products involves utilising knowledge gained through other products or experiences. The ...
STUDY OF THE DESIGNER’S COGNITIVE PROCESSES DURING THE LATER PHASES OF THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS
Motte, D.; Andersson, P.-E.; Bjärnemo, R. // 2004
An increasing number of studies have been focusing on the cognitive abilities and limitations of the designer during the design process, yet thus far only for the conceptual design phase. This paper ...
Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
