Abstract

Conceptual design is the main responsibilities of chief engineers, but nowadays less software tools are practical and effective for them to carry out conceptual design of new products. A Visual Aided Prototype of Principle Solution System (VAPPSS) is proposed in this paper. It uses extended tree structure, multimedia-based principle solutions and mouse-driven interface to construct a visual aided system to give chief engineers a convenient tool for conceptual design of new products. Such a prototype is fairly simple and effective in principle solutions.
