1. A method of designing a cutting tool based on a simulated cutting operation characterized by linear and non-linear physical phenomenon defining the cutting operation of a tool on a workpiece, comprising the steps of:

  • representing said linear phenomenon with a modifiable linear model which simulates said linear phenomenon in response to value assignments for modifiable input parameters;

    representing said non-linear phenomenon with a modifiable non-linear model which simulates said non-linear phenomenon in response to value assignments for modifiable input parameters;

    exercising said linear model to derive the simulation of said linear phenomenon, and exercising said non-linear model to derive the simulation of said non-linear phenomenon,wherein said models predict a response of said tool and simulate a chip-flow phenomenon;

    evaluating said simulations with an adaptive judgment base in a dynamic learning environment;

    integrating said simulations and evaluation into said learning environment; and

    continuously modifying said input parameters in accordance with said evaluation until an acceptable evaluation corresponding to an optimized tool design which generates a desired chip-flow is achieved.
