Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If component data is used as-is without supplementation, then data processing is simple and fast, but the component model is incomplete and cannot accurately evaluate circuit system performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of component modelVSAvoidcomplexity of data processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically acquiring supplementary component data from external sources before model creation, and pre-processing this data to match the required format. This ensures the component model has complete and accurate parameters without requiring manual data collection during the modeling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces an intermediary data processing mechanism that acts as a bridge between raw component data and the component model. This intermediary layer automatically supplements missing data, validates parameters, and transforms data formats, thereby resolving the contradiction between model accuracy and processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual data collection and model creation is performed, then data accuracy can be ensured, but the design process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign efficiencyVSAvoidaccuracy of component parameters
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically acquiring component data from manufacturers' websites and other external sources, supplementing missing parameters, and creating the component model without requiring manual intervention. This automated self-service process significantly improves design efficiency while maintaining data accuracy through systematic validation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The invention incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system continuously validates acquired data against required specifications, automatically requests supplementary information when parameters are missing or inconsistent, and iteratively refines the component model until it meets accuracy requirements, thereby maintaining precision while improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If comprehensive component data is collected from multiple sources, then model completeness is improved, but data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of component informationVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by selectively acquiring only the necessary supplementary data required for model creation rather than collecting all possible component information. It prioritizes critical parameters for model accuracy while omitting redundant data, thus reducing processing time while maintaining model completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention performs preliminary filtering and prioritization of data requirements before actual data collection, identifying exactly which parameters are needed for the component model. This preliminary planning enables targeted data acquisition that minimizes processing time while ensuring all necessary information is obtained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A design support device includes an input unit, a calculation unit configured to create a component model based on the component data received from the input unit and processing the component model and the design and structure data to evaluate performance of the circuit system, and an output unit. The calculation unit includes a component model generation unit configured to, when a part of data required for evaluating the performance of the circuit system is missing in the component data received from the input unit, create complementary data for complementing missing data, and configured to create the component model using the component data received from the input unit and the complementary data, so that even when information about an electronic component used in a circuit system using the electronic component is not sufficiently provided, parameters of an analysis model can be extracted to perform an analysis.
