Intelligent Computer Aided Design Methodology: Mold Thermal System Design as a Model

许多工程设计问题涉及复杂的物理现象，经常迫使设计者使用反复试验的方法来得出可以制造的设计。设计方法需要将计算机的分析能力与人类专家的推理能力结合起来。本研究的目的是为模具热系统设计创造一种智能化的计算机辅助设计方法。拟议的设计方法将把优化技术和人类决策过程纳入一个交互式计算机辅助设计和分析系统。这项研究的长期目标是增加我们对计算机和人类专业知识在计算机辅助设计和制造中的作用的理解。

Many engineering design problems involve complicated physical phenomen a that frequently compel designers to use trial-and-error methods to arrive at a design that can be manufactured. Design methodologies are needed that combine the analytical capabilities available from computers with the reasoning abilities of human experts. The goal of this research is to create an intelligent computer-aided design methodology for mold thermal system design. The proposed design methodology will incorporate optimization techniques and the human decision making process in an interactive computer-aided design and analysis system. The long-term goal of the research is to increase our understanding of the role of computer and human expertise in computer-aided design and manufacturing.
