Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing computer design systems are used for multiphysics modeling, then basic modeling functionality is provided, but the systems lack flexibility for customized environments tailored for specific uses
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into distinct modular components: multiphysics model data structures, geometry subroutines, application features, form features, and action features. Each component can be independently developed, configured, and reused across different modeling applications, enabling customization without requiring complete system redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal building blocks that can serve multiple purposes. Geometry subroutines can be reused across different physics models, and application features can be configured for various specific uses through parameter settings rather than requiring separate implementations for each customized environment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If geometry subroutines and application features are integrated into multiphysics modeling systems, then customization and reusability are enhanced, but the complexity of creating and managing these customized applications increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested data structure where multiphysics model data structures contain embedded geometry subroutines, which in turn contain parameter definitions. Application features are nested within the overall application data structure, with form features and action features organized in hierarchical relationships. This nesting allows complex functionality to be built from simpler nested components.
Solution Approach 2:
Geometry subroutines and application features are pre-configured with default parameters, data formats, and operation sequences. This preliminary configuration reduces the complexity of creating customized applications, as users can start with pre-built templates and modify them rather than building from scratch.
3Manufacturing precision
If customized application data structures are generated with embedded multiphysics models and geometry subroutines, then tailored modeling for specific physical systems is enabled, but the difficulty of operation increases for non-experts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables users to copy and reuse previously created application features, form features, and geometry subroutines across different modeling projects. This copying mechanism allows non-experts to leverage existing templates and configurations, maintaining high modeling accuracy without requiring deep expertise in creating customized applications from scratch.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates automated configuration capabilities where application data structures can be generated and configured with appropriate parameters, data formats, and operation sequences based on the selected multiphysics model and geometry subroutine. This self-service approach reduces the operational difficulty for non-experts while maintaining modeling precision.
4Ease of operation
If application features with form features and action features are added to the application data structure, then control of manufacturing processes is facilitated, but the time required to set up customized modeling applications increases
Solution Approach 1:
Form features and action features are pre-configured with standard data formats and operation sequences relevant to manufacturing processes. This preliminary setup allows users to quickly assemble customized modeling applications by selecting and configuring pre-built features rather than creating everything from scratch, reducing setup time while maintaining ease of manufacturing process control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges form features (input data specification) and action features (operation sequences) into integrated application features that work together as unified components. This integration reduces the time required to set up customized applications, as related form and action features are configured together rather than separately, while still providing comprehensive manufacturing process control.

AI summary
A system generates a customized application data structure for modeling physical systems. The system includes a processor, an input device, optionally a display device, and a memory device. The processor is adapted to embed a multiphysics model data structure in the application data structure. The multiphysics model data structure comprises a representation of models of physical systems. Geometry data representing geometry subroutines and call data representing geometry subroutine calls are added to the embedded multiphysics model data structure. Data representing application features are added to the application data structure. Each application feature comprises one or more of (i) first data representing a form feature, or (ii) second data representing an action feature. A customized application data structure is generated providing a customized modeling of the physical systems using a modeling operation, a geometry of the one or more models of physical systems, an application feature, and a geometry subroutine.
