Representing 3D Shape Grammars in a Generative Product Design System

چکیده
A new representation of 3D shape, referred to as Dynamic Shape Representation, is introduced in this paper. This representation is aimed at better supporting the generative application of shape grammars in product design. Inspired from real design process at a cognitive level, shape transforming actions in product design instead of geometric and topologic features of the product form are represented and manipulated in our system. This Dynamic Shape Representation offers better support to generative design of conceptual product forms with flexible shape creations. Two product design examples are presented in this paper in order to evaluate the feasibility of this new representation for 3D shape grammar applications in design.

Procedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment
This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...
متن کاملShape Grammars and the Generative Specification of Painting and Sculpture
A method of shape generation using shape grammars which take shape as primitive and have shape-specific rules is presented. A formalism for the complete, generative specification of a class of non-representational, geometric paintings or sculptures is defined which has shape grammars as its structural component. Paintings are material representations of two-dimensional shapes gen~rated by shape...
متن کاملIntegrating shape grammars into a generative system for Zhuang ethnic embroidery design exploration
The integration of shape grammars within a generative system is thought to have good potential to support design applications in the art and cultural domains. Based on a shape decomposing method, two-level generative shape grammars are developed within the application of Zhuang ethnic embroidery design. In our approach, free B-spline curves are used to derive initial design concepts together wi...

An exploration-based generative model of design is proposed. Shape grammars are used as a framework for the knowledge representation within this model. The routine design problem over the state space generated using a xed shape grammar and the creative design problem over the extended state space generated by using an extended shape grammar-the family of shape grammars which includes the origin...
متن کاملLayout synthesis of fluid channels using generative graph grammars
This paper presents a new technique for shape and topology optimization of fluid channels using generative design synthesis methods. The proposed method uses the generative abilities of graph grammars with simulation and analysis power of conventional CFD methods. The graph grammar interpreter GraphSynth is used to carry out graph transformations, which define different topologies for a given m...
