摘 要：This paper proposes a method for obtaining superior design solutions by first simplifying the overall design problem and design elements, and then reconstructing a fresh design system based on the simplified model. This process of simplification followed by reconstruction not only makes design optimization easier, but also increases the possibilities for discovering improved designs. After simplifying the problem, conflicting and cooperative relationships are clarified, and then the core relationships among the design characteristics are identified. Optimization methods are carried out on the reconstructed formulation, paying particular attention to the newly identified core relationships. An optimal design solution is selected from a set of obtained design alternatives that consider both the individual parts of the product as well as the design as a whole.
