功能建模是许多知名设计方法的重要组成部分。本文探讨了人们在工业中使用的功能建模方法以及如何概念化功能的问题。通过采访和实验结果，20名设计师被要求制作一个产品的功能模型，本文强调了设计师与功能这个词相关的不同概念。与功能建模相关的困难来自于功能的不同和不一致的概念，以及与建模和在工业中引入方法相关的更广泛的挑战。
Abstract Functional modeling is a very significant part of many different well-known design methodologies. This paper investigates the questions of what functional modeling approaches people use in industry and how they conceptualize functions. Using interviews and the findings from an experiment where 20 individual designers were asked to generate a functional model of a product, the paper highlights the different notions designers associate with the word function. Difficulties associated with functional modeling arise from varied and inconsistent notions of functions as well as wider challenges associated with modeling and the introduction of methods in industry.
