1. A method of identifying a solution based on user selected parameters comprising the steps of:

  • generating a solution database, said solution database comprising a plurality of solutions, each of said solutions having associated scale values and rejection constraint filter criteria;

    said solution database stored in a memory;

    receiving input specifying user rejection constraints, said user rejection constraints specifying user preference for parameters which are expressed to the user quantitatively;

    receiving input specifying user scale values, said user scale values specifying user preference for parameters which are expressed to the user qualitatively;

    comparing, in a processing means, said user rejection constraints to said rejection constraints;

    generating a first reduced solution database by eliminating those solutions having rejection constraints that do not match said user rejection constraints;

    comparing, in said processing means, said user scale values with said solution database scale values in said first reduced solution database;

    generating a second reduced solution database by eliminating those solutions having scale values outside of a predetermined range of said user selected scale values; and

    determining a closeness of fit of each of said solutions of said second reduced database by comparing a matrix comprised of said scale values of said solutions to a vector comprised of said user scale values.
