Automating the conceptual design process: “from black box to component selection”

TL;DR: The application of the approach to the design of an electromechanical device shows the method's range of capabilities and how it serves as a comparison to human conceptual design generation and as a tool suite to complement the skills of a designer.

Linking design process to customer satisfaction through virtual design of experiments

TL;DR: Results indicate that greater client satisfaction is achieved through: greater problem definition (PD) activity and idea generation at conceptual design levels, and PD and engineering analysis activities at the system design level.

Methods and tools for identifying and leveraging additive manufacturing design potentials

TL;DR: In this article, a criteria-based evaluation provides the basis for selecting and recommending appropriate design methods in the context of conceptual additive manufacturing (DFAM) and additional digital and physical DFAM tools.

Systems theory as a foundation for governance of complex systems

TL;DR: This paper refines the work of Adams et al. using discoverer's induction and further describes the axioms provided and their role in complex systems.

Modularity analysis and commonality design: a framework for the top-down platform and product family design

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic framework to assist in implementing top-down platform and product family design, which aims to achieve system-level modularity for variety generation, and rationalise the commonality configuration for module instantiation.
