“…In the past three years, many papers have appeared on applying AI techniques to engineering problems especially in the aerospace and automotive industries (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12). Many of these applications involve developing expert design systems such as EXFAN (13) for the design of cooling flow fans or LOKI (14) for the design of aircraft wings in which all of the information needed to design the component is encapsulated in a series of rules.…”

A new approach is evaluated for the design of turbomachinery components using existing analysis codes coupled to a generic Artificial Intelligence (AI) software framework called ENGINEOUS. This AI framework uses intelligent search techniques with a small set of basic component design rules to iterate to an optimized solution and to quantify parameter trade-offs. Initial experience with ENGINEOUS indicates that it is a powerful design tool which quickly identifies non-obvious solutions balanced for conflicting multiple goals in a small number of iterations which vary linearly with the number of variables. The solution path and driving logic are easily visible to the designer and a parameter study option can rapidly quantify potential design trade-offs which together allow a critique of the selected design to balance performance against development risks. Because this AI design approach fosters intelligent interface with the designer and is generic, the potential application areas and productivity benefits appear enormous.
