Sinopsis

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.



  • Learn how to decompose large problems into manageable parts using graph-based problem simplification.

  • See how knowledge-based systems can guide discrete choices and support later nonlinear programming.

  • Understand the role of nonlinear programming and mixed integer programming in real-world design tasks.

  • Explore practical implementation details, from modeling languages to solver workflows and interactive tooling.


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.

Excerpt from Solving Parametric Design Problems: Requiring Configuration Choices

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.

Keywords: Knowledge-based systems, mathematical programming, hybrid systems, graph theory, design.

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).
