CIFECENTER FOR INTEGRATED FACILITY ENGINEERING Design Scenarios – Enabling Requirements-Driven Parametric Design Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel methodology called Design Scenarios (DS) intended for use in conceptual design of buildings. DS enables multidisciplinary design teams to streamline the requirements definition, alternative generation, analysis, and decisionmaking processes by providing a methodology for building and managing requirements driven design spaces with parametric Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools. DS consists of four interdependent models: (1) Requirements Model – stakeholders and designers explicitly define and prioritize context specific design requirements; (2) Scenarios Model (SM) – designers formally transform these requirements into actions necessary to achieve them, and determine the geometric and material parameters, interrelationships, and potential conflicts; (3) Parametric Process Model (PPM) – CAD experts build and represent the technical implementation of a SM in a parametric model to enable design teams to manage and communicate its CAD models; (4) Alternative Analysis Model – analyze and visually report performance back to the designers and stakeholders. This paper motivates the need for the DS methodology thorough industry case studies, and establishes points of departure for the methodology through literature review. Next, the paper details the elements and methods in the methodology, describes its implementation into a software prototype, and provides an example to illustrate how DS can potentially

CIFECENTER FOR INTEGRATED FACILITY ENGINEERING Application of Design Scenarios Methodology to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Transparent Parametric Design Spaces
Quality designs generally emerge from a conceptual design process that generates and communicates large design spaces of objectives, alternatives, impacts, and values. Parametric modeling is a popular means for generating large alternative spaces but it is difficult to use effectively when the other spaces are not well generated. We apply a framework for measuring design space clarity and quali...
متن کاملCasting cost estimation in an integrated product and process design environment
A casting cost estimation model, driven by the solid model of the part and its attributes (material, geometric, quality and production requirements) is presented. It is meant for product designers with little knowledge of the process, enabling design modifications for cost reduction in early stages, when the cost of such modifications is low. Analytical equations have been developed to estimate...

CIFECENTER FOR INTEGRATED FACILITY ENGINEERING Multi-Attribute Interaction Design: An Integrated Conceptual Design Process for Modeling Interactions and Maximizing Value
Integrated design synthesizes combinations of options to take advantage of interactions that maximize multidisciplinary value. As resources become further constrained, options more numerous and goals increasingly complex, it is more critical and more challenging for design teams to find these integrated solutions. Theory proposes the integration of transformation, flow, and value (TFV) views as...
متن کاملCIFECENTER FOR INTEGRATED FACILITY ENGINEERING The Perspective Approach: Enabling Engineers to Construct and Integrate Geometric Views to Generate an Evolving Project Model
Enabling engineers to construct integrated and task-specific views of an evolving AEC project is an important and unresolved issue in both practice and research. Many current project-modeling approaches construct and integrate a predefined central model from which task-specific views are constructed. Others construct and integrate a “federation” of predefined task-specific views. AEC processes ...
