“…Open-source games for health could represent a potential solution ( 38 ). In open-source software, the computer code of the software is available for anyone to modify; thus, users could modify themselves the game’s content and continue the development and maintenance of validated games, i.e., games whose potential for health improvement was demonstrated in controlled trials.…”

“…This integration of functional and process modeling then determined the workflow for the remainder of the design process of two similar technologies with significantly different design goals. Others have chosen to integrate software tools for engineering design into a web-based interface resulting in one unified piece of software accessible usable by all collaborators and having the ability to easily implement high performance computing without having to have onsite access to the compute power , Alexopoulus et al 2011, Weng 2011, Lwin et al 2012, McIntosh et al 2012, Ari and Muhtaroglu 2013, Wang and Takahasi 2012, Valilai and Houshmand 2013. A collection of tools has been developed within these unified systems or as stand-alone pieces of software that generate and swiftly analyze designs during the conceptual design phase.…”

“…Many have chosen to integrate software tools for engineering design into a web based interface resulting in one unified piece of software accessible and usable by all collaborators and the ability to easily implement high performance computing without having to have onsite access to the compute power. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] A collection of tools has been developed within these unified systems or as stand-alone pieces of software that generate and swiftly analyze designs during conceptual design phase. The capabilities of these tools have included algorithms that make design decisions based upon previous experiences, 27,28 automatic mesh generation for the design of concepts, 29 graphs that quickly present pertinent information based upon user generated concepts, 30 and structural analysis of generated concepts.…”

Digital manufacturing significantly reduces the expense and time required to produce custom products. Utilizing this technology, a customized product can be quickly manufactured. But the timescale and expense of the engineering design workflows used to develop these customized products have not been adapted from the workflows used in mass production due to the development of high fidelity models. But with digital manufacturing the economies of scale are eliminated such that producing many unique designs or many of the same designs result in the same manufacturing cost. Developing a design workflow that utilizes the developed and validated high fidelity models of the already produced design can reduce the amount of time and expense developing a slightly varied customized design. Reduced order modeling enables this reuse and magnification of existing high fidelity models by creating a computationally inexpensive representation of a model from high fidelity data. This thesis explores the integration of reduced order modeling and detailed analysis into the engineering design workflow developing a customized design using digital manufacturing. Specifically detailed analysis is coupled with proper orthogonal decomposition to enable the exploration of the design space while simultaneously shaping the model representing the design. This revised workflow is examined using the design of a laboratory scale overhead mixing impeller. The case study presented here is compared with the design of the Kar Dynamic Mixer developed by the Dow Chemical Company. The result of which is a customized design for a refined set of operating conditions with improved performance.
