Design Intent-Oriented Modelling Tools for Aesthetic Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the outcome of an international research project, aimed at identifying and implementing an innovative approach in computer aided aesthetic design. Despite the availability of sophisticated modelling tools, there are still critical issues to be faced in order to get functionality really suited to the creative users mentality. The presented results are based on the analysis of the design activities carried out with stylists and surfacers (Computer Aided Styling operators) both in the automotive field (BMW, Pininfarina, Saab), and in household supplies field (Alessi and Eiger). Some of the identified aesthetic features, used by designers to judge the shape, are discussed. In particular the free–form modelling tools for curve modification driven by aesthetic properties perception will be presented.

An innovative approach to the aesthetic design
As the aesthetic aspect of a product is becoming more and more important in customers' decisions, there is an increasing need of tools able to express and preserve the styling intent during the product development cycle, while offering an interaction with the user much more adherent to his mentality. The European Project FIORES-II (Character Preservation and Modelling in Aesthetic and Engineeri...
متن کاملDefining Simulation Intent
Defining Simulation Intent involves capturing high level modelling and idealisation decisions in order to create an efficient and fit-for-purpose analysis. These decisions are recorded as attributes of the decomposed design space. An approach to defining Simulation Intent is described utilising three known technologies: Cellular Modelling, the subdivision of space into volumes of simulation sig...
متن کاملCase Studies in Cost-Optimized Paneling of Architectural Freeform Surfaces
Paneling an architectural freeform surface refers to an approximation of the design surface by a set of panels that can be manufactured using a selected technology at a reasonable cost, while respecting the design intent and achieving the desired aesthetic quality of panel layout and surface smoothness. Eigensatz and co-workers [Eigensatz et al. 2010] have recently introduced a computational so...
متن کامل3D sketching for aesthetic design using fully free-form deformation features
This paper addresses the designers’ activity and in particular the way designers express an object shape in 2D sketches through character lines and how these lines form a basis for sketching shapes in 3D. The tools currently available in commercial CAS/CAD systems to manipulate the digital models are still not sufficiently suited to support design. In this paper, the so-called Fully Free Form D...
متن کاملSoftarch: Tool Support for Integrated Software Architecture Development
A good software architecture design is crucial in successfully realising an object-oriented analysis (OOA) specification with an object-oriented design (OOD) model that meets the specification’s functional and non-functional requirements. Most CASE tools and software architecture design notations do not adequately support software architecture modelling and analysis, integration with OOA and OO...
