Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If engineers manually draw package patterns for elements in design software, then the package files can be created with flexibility and adaptability to different element specifications, but the process consumes a lot of time and energy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by allowing users to input element type and size parameters, which then automatically determine the dimensions and positions of pads, entity layers, height layers, and screen layers. This transforms the manual drawing process into an automated parameter-driven generation process, maintaining adaptability while drastically reducing time consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically generating package drawings based on user-input parameters. The software autonomously calculates pad positions, determines layer coordinates, and completes the drawing without requiring manual intervention for each element, thereby eliminating the tedious manual drawing task while preserving customization capability
2Manufacturing precision
If engineers manually read specifications and draw package patterns for each element, then accuracy can be maintained by careful reading and drawing, but the process is tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual drawing process with an automated computational system. The software automatically calculates pad positions, determines layer coordinates, and generates drawings based on input parameters, substituting manual reading and drawing operations with automated algorithms that maintain precision while dramatically improving productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses copying by generating package drawings through automated reproduction based on parameter templates. Once the drawing logic is established, it can be copied and applied to any element type by simply changing the input parameters, maintaining consistency and accuracy across all elements while eliminating repetitive manual work
