Maintaining Design Consistency: Examples

Abstract

In order to demonstrate the ability to maintain a consistent design by analyzing solution trajectories (as presented in Chapter 14), detailed results from several design examples are given. Between most steps of the design, there are multiple competing solution trajectories that a typical numerical constraint solver could converge. It can be seen, however, that the desired solution follows a unique solution trajectory that can be followed to maintain the consistency. The algorithm flowchart is repeated here to make this chapter as self-contained as possible.
