Technology background
Recent advances in modeling software and graphical interfaces allow designers to build custom procedures with the help of computational design tools to generate and evaluate a wide range of design alternatives using modeling. Even so, the number of variables that can determine a set of often conflicting solutions it is possible to generate more than a viable solution. That is, for each part of the problem we can have more than one principle of solution which sometimes generates countless possible combinations and a large mass of data. Thus, allow the designer to automatically generate a wide range of design solutions is a major advantage offered by the parametric modeling in support geometric design exploits. Genetic algorithms (AG’s) that simulate the evolution and natural selection of living beings have been shown to support alternative, because they allow the construction of computational models capable of assisting in the task of generating and evaluating multiple solutions.
Technology description
generative model that links the patterns of geometric construction of the morphology of the product family elements to the elements and genetic structures, allowing them to be treated as units capable of chromosomal manipulation by genetic algorithms and principles of the subject combinations and mutations analogous to biological context.
Problem Fixed
The main problem solved by the invention is the formal systematic variations in composition, with maintaining the formal unity of a set.
Advantages
-easy tool to manipulate data and provides visual feedback to the designer, accelerating the evaluation time;
-Grammar how strategy composition and decomposition of generatrices which describe the morphology of the surfaces of revolution;
-Allow the relationship of equivalence between the geometric patterns, Genetic and computing.
Applications
-Mass production companies.
The mass production companies that generate a high number of product variants organize their operational base based platform system - modularity. This means that modularization is used as a tool to break the structure into smaller pieces product, meaning, controllable units. Therefore, the tecnlogia can be applied to processes and able to handle such a complex tools, allowing handle projetual problem data and provide the ability to insert or even from previous solutions that constitute the intellectual assets of the company.
