Abstract This paper describes a general design model that serves as a base for computer-support in the conceptual design stage. The model consists of a model of the artefact to be designed, design activities and knowledge. The artefact model contains multiple views, each highlighting a certain aspect of the design. Design activities are performed to create this model and knowledge describes information generated in the past that can be reused. The general design model has been used to develop a specific model for the design of production machines. This specific model has been implemented in a prototype computer-program and has been evaluated within several companies. The results are promising and show that designers gain new insights by using the model.

This paper describes an ongoing study related to a conceptual design model, which is specific to instructional interface design to enhance courseware usage. It was found that most of the existing courseware applications focus on the needs of certain target with most of the courseware offer too little to inclusive learners. In addition, the use of structure, layout, and navigation to improve the courseware instructional interfaces as part of usability strategies was also problematic for developers. Thus, this study aims at creating an alternative instructional interface as part of usability strategies for inclusive education systems called Instructional Interface Design for Courseware (IID4C). It is proposed as guidance for the developer to refer to. The study used comparative analysis technique to determine the elements of the model. In the end, this study finds that the IID4C model is useful for information accessibility and contributes to the designing of instructional courseware. Future works are to evaluate the proposed model among disabled and non-disabled learners.

The conceptual design model for mechanical product and its computer aided design are the important and focus problems. A mechanical product design process of FPBS model, function-principle-behavior-structure model, was put forward and discussed. The semantic relationships between the elements of FPBS model were studied to make foundation for the application of FPBS model. The operational demand of knowledge system for FPBS model was analyzed, and indicates the ontology can be applied effectively to knowledge system operation of FPBS model. Then, an ontology based FPBS model was established and a FPBS ontology model system was constructed. The experimental results indicate the model can be used in computer aided conceptual design for mechanical product effectively.

A method to select a key HOQ of QFD from the existed HOQs for variety of design is introduced first. Evolution of technique (ET) is used to find exciting requirements for the product to be designed and VOC driven by ET is formed. A new conceptual design model is illustrated, which integrate VOC driven by ET, QFD, inventive principles and separation principles of TRIZ. A design example is carried out using the model.

With regard to the increasing use of satellites platform in the geostationary orbit, a system engineering tool, FADSat, has been developed to reduce the prohibitive cost and time of their conceptual design phase. The proposed tool effectively conducts the design of the geostationary Earth orbit satellite platform lying in the mass range of 1–7000 kg. The main feature of the FADSat is to determine the conceptual design of the satellite platform with both high time performance and acceptable accuracy. Using this tool, one can readily extract the characteristics of the structure, attitude determination and control, command and data handling, electrical power, and other subsystems of a satellite. The FADSat exploits a statistical design model in the first instance to yield a rough estimation of the satellite design, i.e. a rapid extraction of the budgets for mass, power, and dimensions of the satellite subsystems as well as the cost of the satellite. Then, using a parametric design model approach, it performs subsystems design more accurately and ascertains their component specifications in terms of a catalog of products with corresponding manufacturers. A database of 462 geostationary Earth orbit communication satellites (with 30 different geostationary Earth orbit satellites platforms (launched from 2000 to 2017 has been used in this paper to implement the statistical design model approach. This tool developed in the LabVIEW software is capable of contributing to the satellite production phases as a connection to the hardware simulators of different subsystems. Herein, after describing the general concepts utilized in the satellite design, we have introduced various parts and relations of the FADSat tool. The tool’s accuracy was amply verified through flight prototypes, indicating an average error of 15% in the obtained results.
