Solution Overview

Problem

Visualizing and analyzing large quantities of measurement data from simulated real-world systems is challenging due to the complexity and volume of data, making it difficult for users to identify and interact with relevant information effectively.

Innovation Solution

A graphical user interface (GUI) is developed with multiple panels (information, trend, simulation, mapping, schematic, time, and toolbar) that allows users to view and edit data in real-time, providing a highly configurable and interactive platform for visualizing and simulating multiple models representing real-world systems, enabling efficient data presentation and analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the number of measurements is increased to improve data completeness, then the quantity of data increases, but the difficulty of identifying and visualizing relevant data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of measurement dataVSAvoiddifficulty of identifying relevant data
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the large quantity of measurement data by organizing it into multiple hierarchical levels: simulated systems, models, model instances, and time-series data. This segmentation allows users to navigate from high-level system views down to specific data points, making it easier to identify relevant data without being overwhelmed by the total volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces simulated systems and models as intermediary layers between the raw measurement data and the user. These intermediaries process and structure the data, presenting it in meaningful contexts that facilitate easier identification and analysis of relevant information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If detailed measurement data is stored to improve analysis accuracy, then the quantity of stored data increases, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidease of data analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments detailed measurement data into structured hierarchical levels, organizing data by simulated system, model, model instance, and time-series. This segmentation maintains data precision while improving ease of operation by allowing users to access and analyze data at appropriate levels of detail without managing the entire dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds a temporal dimension to data organization through time-series data, allowing measurements to be analyzed both in detail and in context of trends over time. This dimensional organization improves analysis accuracy while maintaining operational ease through structured access patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
