Abstract

In the early design process, it is difficult to apply the conventional engineering design method from the necessity of the setting of the objective function. Therefore, in the past study, the emergent design system which is applicable for the early design process is proposed, and in an application to the design object without connectivity number in the form generation space and with number of elements of about 104, effectiveness of deriving diverse design solutions using this system is indicated. In this study, we applied this system to a large-scale design object (a body in white) that has one or more connectivity number in the form generation space and number of elements of 10s or more, and it contributed to construction of this system.
