A Function Structure Diagrams (FSD) is a graphical representation of the functions a product performs on its inputs and outputs. In a FSD, the overall function is broken down into …

A function structure is an abstract model of the new product, without material features such as shape, dimensions and materials of the parts. It describes the functions of the product and its …

Functional Analysis as the systematic process of identifying, describing, and relating the functions a system has to be able to perform, in order to be successful, but does not consider it as a …

In order to apply morphological analysis to product design, we simply identify the critical functions in our function structure diagram and then identify many different solutions for each function. …

♦ Describe, and illustrate with examples, two tools of functional analysis - Functional Flow Block Diagrams and Time Line Analysis. ♦ Functional analysis is the systematic process of …

May 14, 2018 · The document discusses establishing functional structures through function analysis for engineering design. It defines functions as the purposive actions a product is …

... electromechanical systems, an effective functional modeling method is the function structure ( Pahl and Beitz, 1988), which connects sub-functions with flows of energy, material, and...

It is this latter “formal structure” of the parts and their place in a hierarchy of wholes that participants in design work to define (in full, i.e., all relevant parameters specified), given the …

Propose a new methodology for identifying necessary functions based on Function and Behavior Representation Language (FBRL), and a method to use the functional diagram. The result of …

Idea generation is accomplished by creating single systems from different mechanisms illustrated in the morphological chart. It is advised to generate several feasible designs using different …
