DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING/DISPLAYING DIFFERENT DESIGN SHAPE HAVING SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS
First Claim
1. A device for classifying/displaying design shapes whose characteristics are similar but whose shapes are different in a design support apparatus for supporting determination of an optimal design parameter set by inputting a plurality of design parameter sets, calculating a plurality of objective functions on the basis of a prescribed calculation, and applying a multi-objective optimization process to the plurality of objective functions, said device comprising:
- an objective space display unit to display an area which a value of arbitrarily-selected objective functions of the plurality of objective functions can take on the basis of a plurality of objective function values each of which is calculated for the plurality of the design parameter sample sets, the area being displayed as a possible area in objective space corresponding to the arbitrarily-selected objective functions;
an objective space-corresponding design space calculation unit to calculate the design parameter set in design space corresponding to a neighborhood area of a position in the objective space based on the position specified by a user in the possible area in the objective space corresponding to the arbitrarily-selected objective functions, the possible area being displayed by the objective space display unit; and
a representative shape display unit to calculate and display a representative design shape corresponding to the design parameter set calculated by the objective space-corresponding design space calculation unit.

Abstract
A system displays an area which a desired objection function value of a plurality of objective functions as a possible area in objective space corresponding to the objective function on the basis of each of the plurality of objective function value sets calculated for a plurality of design parameter sample sets; calculates a design parameter set in design space corresponding to the neighborhood area of a position in the objective space based on the position specification in relation to position specification by a user in the possible area of the objective space; and calculates and displays a representative design shape corresponding to the calculated design parameter set.
