Product design optimization method and system
First Claim
1. A method for developing a product, comprising:
- obtaining data records from a plurality of stages of development of the product;
identifying respective objectives of the plurality of stages and corresponding objective factors of the objectives;
determining common variables associated with the objectives based on the objective factors;
selecting one or more input parameters based on the common variables and one or more output parameters based on the objectives;
updating the data records to generate desired data records indicative of characteristics of the one or more input parameters and the one or more output parameters;
generating a computational model indicative of interrelationships between the one or more input parameters and the one or more output parameters based on the data records; and
providing a set of constraints to the computational model representative of a design of the product.

Abstract
A method is provided for developing a product. The method may include obtaining data records from a plurality of stages of development of the product; identifying respective objectives of the plurality of stages and corresponding objective factors of the objectives; and determining common variables associated with the objectives based on the objective factors. The method may also include selecting one or more input parameters based on the common variables and one or more output parameters based on the objectives; and updating the data records to generate desired data records indicative characteristics of the one or more input parameters and the one or more output parameters. Further, the method may include generating a computational model indicative of interrelationships between the one or more input parameters and the one or more output parameters based on the data records; and providing a set of constraints to the computational model representative of a design of the product.
