A Computer-Supported Axiomatic Design System Integrating TRIZ

Abstract:

Axiomatic Design (AD) provides designers with two axioms as criteria for design decision-making. The integration of AD with Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is expected to effectively improve design activities. A computer-supported axiomatic design system integrating TRIZ methods was proposed to help designers obtain innovative solutions and make right decisions. Within the AD framework, TRIZ not only can be applied to adjust design parameters when the design is coupled, but also be used to describe functional requirements and directly obtain proper solutions. A fuzzy design scheme evaluation method was presented to improve the implementation of the information axiom. Finally, a computer aided design prototype system based on the proposed model was developed. And a case study of the structure improvement of a faucet demonstrated the validity and practicability of the system.
