Meta-Parametric Design

Integrated Parametric Aircraft Design

Driven by the inspiration to develop a new aircraft that incorporates all fields of aeronautical engineering, the focal point of this designapproach is the geometric modelling. Since innovative technologies need to be included in novel configurations, every new idea has to be modelled in a comprehensible manner. Feedbacks coming from the analysed models are easily integrated in the next iterati...

Parametric study on axial compressor performance in design condition

In This paper, a parametric study of compressor performances was performed by streamline curvature method (SLC). Effects of three input parameters in design process, e.g., number of blades, distribution of blade thickness, and blade sweep angels, on the main objective parameters in aerodynamic design, e.g., velocity distribution, efficiency and pressure ratio, has been investigated in the param...

Parametric Modelling Supporting Collaborative Design

In our paper, we will (1) discuss the primary motivations for the usage of parametric data in Collaborative Design. (2) Describe a project currently implemented using parametric modelling in Revit and Bentley. The final section of this paper, section (3), will investigate how the above mentioned libraries behave when they are transferred from one modelling program to another. The use of this ty...

Parametric Optimal Design Part I

A Collaborative Parametric Design Agent

ParMan combines the use of agent communication protocols, constraint logic programming, and a graphical presentation interface to yield an intelligent parametric design tool supporting collaborative engineering. This provides one of the first complete, end-toend applications of distributed knowledge-level communication among engineering tools, as envisioned by PACT (Cutkosky et al. 1993). In ad...
