Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If standard building components are used as approved under building law, then building law approval is maintained, but the components cannot be tailored to specific construction site requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the component customization process into discrete design rules that can be individually applied to standard components. Each design rule represents a specific geometric or material modification that maintains building law approval, allowing systematic tailoring while preserving regulatory compliance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining design rules that have already been validated for building law compliance. These design rules are stored and can be automatically applied to standard components, ensuring that customization maintains approval status without requiring new permits.
2Productivity
If customized components are produced to meet specific requirements, then site-specific needs are optimized, but additional testing and permits are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates virtual copies of standard components by applying design rules, generating virtual reduced components that replicate the essential characteristics of customized components while maintaining the building law approval of the original standard components. This copying approach eliminates the need for separate testing and permitting.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables parameter changes by allowing modification of geometric and material parameters through predefined design rules. These parameter changes are constrained to ranges and combinations that have been pre-validated for building law compliance, optimizing planning while avoiding additional permitting complexity.
3Reliability
If design rules are applied to reduce component complexity, then building law approval is retained, but the ability to meet specific geometric and material requirements is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces dynamics by making the component design adaptable within defined ranges. Design rules specify minimum and maximum values for geometric parameters and material properties, allowing the system to dynamically adjust component characteristics to meet site requirements while maintaining compliance with building law approval thresholds.
