Extension Design Model of Rapid Configuration Design for Complex Mechanical Products Scheme Design

Abstract

This study explores the extension configuration methods of complex product conceptual design, seeking to improve the product design efficiency and design quality. The paper firstly reviews the literature on element representation models of multi-type design knowledge, followed by a review on extension design models for the rapid configuration of complex product conceptual design. The extension transformation method for the rapid configuration design of complex product conceptual design is also reviewed. With the analysis of the extension reasoning model for the rapid configuration design of complex product conceptual design, the research proposes a new model of extension reasoning for the rapid configuration design of complex product conceptual design. This model of extension design would enhance the rapid configuration design and conceptual design of large and complex products. Detailed steps of the algorithm implementation are also presented. This study also tests the validity and operability of the model and the algorithm with the design case of a large hydro-turbine product design.
