  • State of the Art of Generative Design and Topology Optimization and Potential Research Needs
    NordDesign 2018 August 14 – 17, 2018 Linköping, Sweden State of the art of generative design and topology optimization and potential research needs Evangelos Tyflopoulos1, David Tollnes Flem2, Martin Steinert 3, Anna Olsen 4 1 Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, NTNU [email protected] 2 Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, NTNU [email protected] 3 Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, NTNU [email protected] 4 Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, NTNU [email protected] Abstract Additive manufacturing allows us to build almost anything; traditional CAD however restricts us to known geometries and encourages the re-usage of previously designed objects, resulting in robust but nowhere near optimum designs. Generative design and topology optimization promise to close this chasm by introducing evolutionary algorithms and optimization on various target dimensions. The design is optimized using either 'gradient-based' programming techniques, for example the optimality criteria algorithm and the method of moving asymptotes, or 'non gradient- based' such as genetic algorithms SIMP and BESO. Topology optimization contributes in solving the basic engineering problem by finding the limited used material. The common bottlenecks of this technology, address different aspects of the structural design problem. This paper gives an overview over the current principles and approaches of topology optimization. We argue that the identification of the evolutionary probing of the design boundaries is the key missing element of current technologies. Additionally, we discuss the key limitation, i.e. its sensitivity to the spatial placement of the involved components and the configuration of their supporting structure. A case study of a ski binding, is presented in order to support the theory and tie the academic text to a realistic application of topology optimization.

  • Parametric CAD Modeling: an Analysis of Strategies for Design Reusability
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositori Institucional de la Universitat Jaume I Parametric CAD Modeling: An Analysis of Strategies for Design Reusability Jorge D. Cambaa, Manuel Conterob, Pedro Companyc aUniversity of Houston. Houston, TX. [email protected] bUniversitat Politècnica de València. Valencia, Spain. [email protected] cUniversitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain. [email protected] Abstract CAD model quality in parametric design scenarios largely determines the level of flexibility and adaptability of a 3D model (how easy it is to alter the geometry) as well as its reusability (the ability to use existing geometry in other contexts and applications). In the context of mechanical CAD systems, the nature of the feature-based parametric modeling paradigm, which is based on parent-child interdependencies between features, allows a wide selection of approaches for creating a specific model. Despite the virtually unlimited range of possible strategies for modeling a part, only a small number of them can guarantee an appropriate internal structure which results in a truly reusable CAD model. In this paper, we present an analysis of formal CAD modeling strategies and best practices for history-based parametric design: Delphi’s horizontal modeling, explicit reference modeling, and resilient modeling. Aspects considered in our study include the rationale to avoid the creation of unnecessary feature interdependencies, the sequence and selection criteria for those features, and the effects of parent/child relations on model alteration. We provide a comparative evaluation of these strategies in the form of a series of experiments using three industrial CAD models with different levels of complexity.

  • Parametric Design Thinking About Digital and Material Surface Patterns
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 6 & 7 SEPTEMBER 2018, DYSON SCHOOL OF DESIGN ENGINEERING, IMPERIAL COLLEGE, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM PARAMETRIC DESIGN THINKING ABOUT DIGITAL AND MATERIAL SURFACE PATTERNS Wenche LYCHE, Arild BERG and Kristin ANDREASSEN OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University ABSTRACT There is a growing need in contemporary society to understand new and emerging relationships between technology and creativity. In practice-oriented areas of education such as design, many instructors have come to understand the importance of different learning styles and how students benefit when presentation of new material is varied to reach all students. The concept of parametric design thinking enabled by advanced computational processes has recently been identified as a relevant approach to design education. The present research further explores parametric design thinking through two case studies of design workshops in an educational context and how this approach can promote diversity. The first case (Robotised Clay Workshop) documents material exploration and creative and aesthetic possibilities in digitalised clay processes. The second case (Surface Patterns in Textiles: From Tradition to Digitalisation and Back) explores digitalised processes in hybrid textile design. The two case studies contribute to the exploration of parametric design thinking as an educational approach and discuss digitalisation and the relations of body, hand and mind in terms of the Vygotskyan ‘zone of proximal development’. This content was synthesised for a workshop on surface patterns for third-year bachelor design students. The paper identifies some potentials and pitfalls of this pedagogical approach and concludes that students’ awareness of conformity and diversity in the design process can be used as a starting point to explore digital surface patterns, offering students a new way of learning about function, aesthetics and product semantics through parametric design thinking.

  • Design of Parametric Software Tools: Optimizing Future Health Care Performance by Integrating Evidence-Based Knowledge in Architectural Design and Building Processes
    Lighting in Engineering, Architecture and the Environment 37 Design of parametric software tools: optimizing future health care performance by integrating evidence-based knowledge in architectural design and building processes J. B. Sabra & M. Mullins Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology, Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract The studies investigate the field of evidence-based design used in architectural design practice and propose a method using 2D/3D CAD applications to: 1) enhance integration of evidence-based design knowledge in architectural design phases with a focus on lighting and interior design and 2) assess fulfilment of evidence-based design criterion regarding light distribution and location in relation to patient safety in architectural health care design proposals. The study uses 2D/3D CAD modelling software Rhinoceros 3D with plug-in Grasshopper to create parametric tool prototypes to exemplify the operations and functions of the design method. To evaluate the prototype potentials, surveys with architectural and healthcare design companies are conducted. Evaluation is done by the administration of questionnaires being part of the development of the tools. The results show that architects, designers and healthcare design advisors recon the tool prototypes as a meaningful and valuable approach for 1) integrating and using evidence-based information; and 2) optimizing design processes and health care facility performances. Further study focuses on parametric information relations in Building Information

  • The Role of Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (Mdo) in the Development Process of Complex Engineering Products
    21ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED17 21-25 AUGUST 2017, THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, VANCOUVER, CANADA THE ROLE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN OPTIMIZATION (MDO) IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF COMPLEX ENGINEERING PRODUCTS Papageorgiou, Athanasios; Ölvander, Johan Linköping University, Sweden Abstract The work presented in this paper explores several concepts related to the design of complex engineering products and emphasizes on the effects of considering Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) in the development process. This paper is by no means a comprehensive literature review, but instead, the aim is to discuss some key points through theory and references to common MDO applications. In this respect, the central topics which are addressed herein are the enhancement of the generic product development process, the road towards a better integration of the organization’s functions, the methods to manage complex system architectures, and finally, the shortcomings of the MDO field. As a link to more tangible industrial applications, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are chosen as an illustrative example due to their technical complexity as well as the demanding requirements of the corresponding market. Overall, the paper shows that despite the current state-of-the-art limitations, MDO can be a valuable tool within the “traditional” design process that has the potential to enable products of better quality while simultaneously reducing the total development time and effort.

  • Design Methods for Democratising Mobile Game Design
    Design Methods for Democratising Mobile Game Design Mark J. Nelson Abstract Swen E. Gaudl Playing mobile games is popular among a large and Simon Colton diverse set of players, contrasting sharply with the lim- Rob Saunders ited set of companies and people who design them. We Edward J. Powley would like to democratise mobile game design by ena- Peter Ivey bling players to design games on the same devices they Blanca Pérez Ferrer play them on, without needing to program. Our concept Michael Cook of fluidic games aims to realise this vision by drawing on three design methodologies. The interaction style of The MetaMakers Institute fluidic games is that of casual creators; their end-user Falmouth University design philosophy is adapted from metadesign; and Cornwall, UK their technical implementation is based on parametric metamakersinstitute.com design. In this short article, we discuss how we’ve adapted these three methods to mobile game design, and some open questions that remain in order to em- power end user game design on mobile phones in a way that rises beyond the level of typical user- generated content. Author Keywords Mobile games; casual creators; metadesign; parametric design; end-user creativity; mixed-initiative interfaces. ACM Classification Keywords H.5.m. Information interfaces and presentation: Miscel- laneous Introduction Fluidic Games Our starting point is the observation that mobile games To support on-device casual design, we are developing have attracted a large and diverse set of players, but a what we call fluidic games [5-7]. These blur the line smaller and less diverse set of designers.

  • GUI-Based Chinese Font Editing System Using Font Parameterization Technique
    Typography and Diversity http://www.typoday.in GUI-based Chinese Font Editing System Using Font Parameterization Technique Minju Son, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Soongsil University, [email protected] Gyeongjae Gwon, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Soongsil University, [email protected] Jaeyeong Choi, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Soongsil University, [email protected] Geunho Jeong, Gensol Soft, Seoul, Korea, [email protected] Abstract: When creating Roman fonts, about 256 characters should be designed. Whereas creating Chinese fonts, around 8,000 widely used characters should be designed from the total 80,000 to 100,000 characters. In order to solve these problems, many studies on programmable fonts have been performed since 1980s. METAFONT is a font designing system for improving the quality of TeX typesetting in TeX document, and it represents programmable fonts. However, as METAFONT is a programming language, it is very difficult for general font designers to design fonts directly by using it. In order to solve this problem, we propose a GUI-based Chinese font editing system by font parameterization technique, which can easily edit fonts in web browser. Key words: Font Editor, Programmable Font, Font Parameterization, METAFONT. 1. Introduction Recently, the development of portable devices has increased the number of places where fonts are essential, such as e-books, websites, mobile games, books, newspapers, etc. When creating Roman fonts, about 256 characters should be designed. Whereas creating Chinese fonts, around 8,000 widely used characters should be designed from the total 80,000 to 100,000 characters. When generating fonts, characters are generally described as ‘outline’.
