Research on Knowledge-Based Rapid Design Optimization

To obtain the competition advantages, the methodology of rapid design (RD) is applied widely in enterprises. Product oriented knowledge applied into product optimization based on design instances can avoid the repeated modeling and analyzing and result in improved design efficiency. Firstly, rapid design technology is overviewed. Secondly, general mathematical model of mechanical product rapid optimization is introduced. Thirdly, the process of knowledge-based rapid optimization combined with genetic algorithm is derived and the fitness determination of GA Optimization is discussed in detail. The research in this paper, however, is beneficial to the application of rapid design and optimization.
