Multiple Design: An Extension of Routine Design for Generating Multiple Design Alternatives

  • Chapter

Abstract

Many engineering design situations require the generation of multiple designs to meet a common set of specifications. This research introduces an effective approach for generating multiple designs. The method developed utilizes and builds on the generic task approach to knowledge-based systems, as well as the specific design technique, known as Routine Design.
