Unlock practical methods for solving complex design problems with a clear, integrated approach.
The book presents a framework that combines graph representations, knowledge-based systems, and optimization techniques to help designers decompose, simplify, and solve parametric design problems. It uses a concrete automotive design example to show how to organize data, handle discrete and continuous decisions, and implement interactive workflows that streamline computation and analysis.
Ideal for engineers and designers who want a practical, tool-leaning guide to parametric design and optimization.
Solving Parametric Design Problems: Requiring Configuration Choices can help readers of engineering design, systems optimization, and software-assisted problem solving apply these methods to real-world challenges.

In addition, there is interest in developing better computer-based data representations for this application. Most current representations trade off efficiency for maintainability and flexibility. None of these properties can be neglected if the system is to be successful.

Excerpt from Solving Parametric Design Problems: Requiring Configuration Choices
Many design tasks involve selection from a set of configurations followed by parametric optimization of the chosen configuration. The models used for these tasks tend to be large, non-linear and involve both discrete and continuous variables. It is rarely possible to use any single formal algorithm to solve these problems and as a result there are very few tools to help designers solve such problems. We believe computer environments that allow flexible access to a varied set of computer tools will help designers rapidly generate high quality solutions. We demonstrate our arguments on a design problem taken from a commercial auto manufacturer, propose a framework for dealing with the general class of problems and describe a preliminary implementation of a novel design system that integrates math programming, knowledge-based and graph theoretic tools.

1 Introduction
This paper explores decision support tools for engineers who deal with complex input-output models. An input-output model is used to compute a set of performance parameters from a set of input parameters, based on a set of equations (see Figure 1).

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores innovative methods for solving complex engineering design challenges. It debuts novel frameworks that combine mathematical programming, knowledge-based systems and graph theory to help designers generate multiple high-quality solutions rapidly. The author demonstrates the problems caused by the high number of discrete and continuous variables that must be optimized, and the nonlinear and integer constraints that are often encountered in design tasks. The author presents algorithms that can be used to simplify complex design problems, as well as knowledge-based systems that can be used to determine the values of discrete variables. The book also discusses the use of mixed integer nonlinear programming to solve problems involving both discrete and continuous variables. By integrating these different algorithms, the author argues that design systems can be created that are more flexible, efficient, and user-friendly than traditional systems. These new systems can help designers to explore a wider range of design options and to make better decisions, leading to improved product designs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
