A heuristic configuration solving process planning method for mechanical product configuration by imitating the crystal crystallization process

Configuration design is a process of composing customized product from set predefined component types with well-defined rules which decide how items can be selected and combined. The configuration solving to instantiate all into instances. However, the configurator faces problem determine instantiation order in process. An unreasonable may reduce accuracy result extend time required finish configuration. In response above problem, heuristic planning method by imitating crystal crystallization (CCP) was proposed. According rules, frequent itemset mining algorithm used mine correlation between attribute parameters unit. By CCP utilizing calculated coupling strength, will suitable sequence for types. This has been applied GB10 elevator produced Canny Elevator. It found that improved consumption reduced.
