Association Analysis between Mechanical Symmetry and Requirements

Abstract

This paper focuses on obtaining the association rules between the symmetry of different mechanical structure layers and requirements through data mining, then suggests the selection of symmetry schemes under different requirement conditions, based on the mined association rules and their strength. Firstly, a thousand symmetry structure cases, namely text data, are transformed into binary data. Then, the data analysis software RapidMiner is used to build an association rule mining model to obtain the association rules from symmetry to symmetry, from symmetry to requirements, from requirements to requirements and from requirements to symmetry. Among them, this paper focuses on the association rules with requirements as the premise and symmetry as the conclusion. Finally, according to the support and confidence of the association rules, the selection of symmetry under a single requirement, multiple requirements and decomposable requirements is discussed and summarized.
