由于缺乏足够的多学科知识，探索广泛的多学科解决方案空间来创建概念设计解决方案对于人类设计师来说是一项艰巨的任务。一个可行的方法是开发一个计算机辅助系统，综合各种知识，为一个给定的设计任务。然而，现有的设计综合系统主要是特定领域的，集中在概念设计综合在一个或几个有限的学科。为此，本文介绍了一个基于知识的多学科概念设计综合系统的开发，包括建立一个组织多学科原理解的知识库和一个设计综合算法。一个原型软件的实施也报告，与概念设计的太阳能喷泉作为一个示范案例。实例研究结果表明，该系统能够自动、方便地生成多学科概念解。
Exploring wide multi-disciplinary solution spaces to create conceptual design solutions is a difficult task for human designers due to lack of sufficient multi-disciplinary knowledge. A viable approach would be to develop a computer-aided system to synthesize the wide variety of knowledge for a given design task. However, the existing design synthesis systems are mainly domain-specific, focusing on conceptual design synthesis in a single or few limited disciplines. Therefore, this article introduces the development of a knowledge-based system for multi-disciplinary conceptual design synthesis, including the establishment of a knowledge base for organizing multi-disciplinary principle solutions and a design synthesis algorithm. The implementation of a prototype software is also reported, with the conceptual design of a solar fountain as a demonstrative case. The results of the case study show that the system can automatically and conveniently generate multi-disciplinary conceptual solutions.
