Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method for automatically designing golf courses, capable of generating BIM design data, which includes a display module, memory, and processor to design golf courses based on user inputs, allowing for customization of terrain, outline, tee boxes, fairways, and greens, and generating BIM data for construction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic golf course design system is implemented, then design efficiency and customization capability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The automatic design system is divided into multiple functional modules: terrain analysis module, course layout design module, component design module (tee box, fairway, green), and BIM data generation module. Each module handles specific design tasks independently, improving overall efficiency while managing system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
A user interface acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex automatic design system. The UI provides simplified controls for inputting design requirements and viewing results, shielding users from the underlying system complexity while maintaining high design efficiency through automated processing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If detailed customization options are provided for golf course components, then user satisfaction and design flexibility are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures standard golf course components (tee box, fairway, green) with typical design parameters and relationships. Users can select from pre-defined templates and make minor adjustments, rather than designing everything from scratch. This maintains design flexibility while significantly reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows detailed customization only where necessary - users can modify specific parameters of individual components (such as green size or fairway width) while the system automatically maintains proper spatial relationships and design standards. This provides local flexibility without requiring global complexity.
3Reliability
If BIM data generation is integrated into the design system, then construction applicability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The BIM data generation function is merged with the golf course design system. The same geometric models and spatial relationships used for design visualization are directly utilized to generate construction BIM data, eliminating the need for separate modeling processes and reducing overall system complexity while improving construction applicability.
