Intelligent Collaborative Innovative Design Method Under Open Environment

Due to the limitations of design resources, most companies often encounter some difficulties in developing new products. Although employees from different companies can share professional knowledge through network platform, it is rarely hard to enhance innovative design capabilities by utilizing external resources rationally. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent collaborative innovative design method under open environment to tackle this problem. First, the function cell is introduced for capturing the fragmentation knowledge shared by co-designers under open environment. Then, the match relationship among these function cells is presented. Next, an approach for generating the optimal design scheme based on function cells is put forward. Finally, an example is applied to illustrate the application of the proposed method.
