Research, Theory And Technology Of The Human Prototype Design Automation

With the development of global economy competition and popularization of Information Technology, a designer is facing the challenge from product design innovation with high efficiency and quality. Intelligent Tool is highly regarded increasingly, which can auto-process a great deal of design information and create new product concepts. However, the mystery of invention and mechanical design relying on experience are still a great gulf fixed we must get cross. The research work on theory has more important significance to develop advanced intelligent tools.Human is one and only source of innovation up to the present. Human is the controller in design and imitating the way in which man work is one main approach of design automation accordingly. Human is chosen as the studying object in the thesis and innovative design automation theory and methodology are studied comprehensively, which brings the great theory significance on developing advanced intelligent tools. And it is helpful and valuable to improve the practical design work.The theories and methods of domestic and oversea product design, the research situation of modernist design philosophy, conceptual design and essential technology are investigated systematically. The trends in the domain are given and some keys are proposed to further study.The research work of artifacts history and structure is made further and thoroughly. Human originated design automation theory is proposed with comparing and using characteristics of biology for reference to uniform product design theories and ideas. The correlative design automation technology is studied comprehensively and the conceptual design automation software system LORD-DARFAD is developed. The correctness and validity of the human originated design automation theory and corresponding technology is proved by...
