Cognitive Association in Interactive Evolutionary Design Process for Product Styling and Application to SUV Design

Title Interactive Operators for Evolutionary Architectural Design Interactive Operators for Evolutionary Architectural Design

In this paper we explore different techniques that allow the user to direct interactive evolutionary search. Broadening interaction beyond simple evaluation increases the amount of feedback and bias a user can apply to the search. Increased feedback will have the effect of directing the algorithm to more fruitful areas of the search space. This paper examines whether additional feedback from th...

Design optimization application in accordance with product and process requirements

Structural optimization techniques are a well-known approach for improving product performances. Often, optimization procedures do not include manufacturing constraints arising from corporate technologies. This aspect becomes a disadvantage in the design review phase when the final product release is a trade-off between optimization results and manufacturing constraints. This paper describes a ...

Haptic Feedback to Guide Interactive Product Design

Virtual Reality (VR) allows engineers to naturally interact with three-dimensional digital models in a threedimensional space. This provides a unique interface between users and computer models not found in traditional desktop environments. Common uses of virtual reality in product design include prototype evaluation, virtual assembly and visualization of engineering analysis results. This work...

Integrated Process and Product Design Optimization: a Cosmetic Emulsion Application

A simultaneous approach to address optimal product and process design is presented and applied to a cosmetic lotion case study. The problem formulation integrates product quality, as assessed by customers, a model predicting lotion viscosity as a function of its composition and a process model linking process design and operation with lotion composition and microstructure. The solution of such ...
