Research on Effect Evaluation for Conceptual Design

Abstract

In conceptual design, for a single functional requirement, various effects or effect chains are correlated with. Designers can only choose effects or effect chains by their own experiences, how ever the inter-disciplinary effects or unfamiliar effects are seldom used. So the effect library are not in full use. Furthermore in the viewpoint of environmental aspect, effects need to rated and classified, so this paper studies similarity differences of effect evaluation. Algorithm on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is put forward, and calculation of a washing machine is exemplified in this paper.
