Re-Creation Process Model of Conceptual Design

Abstract:

Conceptual design is the premise of the detail design and could fully embody the human’s creativity, so it has become the core step for the new product’s development. In order to improve the creativity of conceptual design, the re-creation process model for the intelligent conceptual design is presented in this paper based on function-behavior-structure model. This model expanded the problem’s solution space by degrading the space of behavior and granularity, and describing the behavior space using the more basic behavior. At last, an example is given to prove that it is easy to obtain the novel and creative design scheme applying the method presented in this paper.
