Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional parameter input methods are used in simulation systems, then the system can receive parameter values from users, but the user interface lacks user-friendliness and it is difficult to intuitively and efficiently input values of multiple parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into distinct parameter components, each representing a separate parameter that can be independently configured. This segmentation allows users to focus on one parameter at a time, making the complex task of setting multiple parameters more manageable and intuitive.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from traditional linear or tabular parameter input to a two-dimensional spatial arrangement where parameters are positioned according to their logical relationships. This dimensional change enables users to visually grasp parameter interactions and set conditions more efficiently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple parameters need to be configured in simulation systems, then comprehensive simulation can be achieved, but the complexity of setting conditions for each parameter increases
Solution Approach 1:
Parameter components with similar characteristics or relationships are merged into unified visual groups or containers. This merging reduces the perceived complexity by presenting related parameters together, allowing users to configure multiple parameters through a cohesive interface structure rather than scattered individual settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The parameter component design implements multi-functionality, where each component can serve multiple purposes: displaying parameter values, accepting user input, showing condition status, and providing contextual information. This universality reduces the need for separate controls for each function, simplifying the overall interface while maintaining comprehensive configuration capability.

AI summary
It is possible for a user to intuitively and efficiently set a predetermined condition for each parameter. A display processing system includes GUI display means for displaying a plurality of parameter components (103) corresponding to a plurality of parameters and a plurality of parameter condition components (104) corresponding to a plurality of conditions set to a plurality of parameters (103) on a display, and condition specification means for associating one parameter condition component (104) with a first parameter component (103) by means of the display position of the first parameter component (103) and the display position of each of a plurality of parameter condition components (104), and specifying the condition corresponding to the parameter condition component (104) as a condition set to the parameter corresponding to the first parameter component (103).
