The conceptual design collects reference materials and reference materials according to the development motive, and creates an image of the required function / structure. Based on this image, I create many idea sketches of concrete ideas.
Idea sketches are important, but technical support is necessary.
For example, "Is calculation and examination of constituent elements done?"
"Is it possible to predict the motion of the operating part and the generated load?"
"Is it possible to secure the strength of the component parts?"
Etc. These parameter studies are important.
In these sketches without Technological support, there are many cases where the design work concretely becomes unsatisfactory.
As a typical example, we considered the parameter study by using the coil spring of mechanical element as an example.
A lot of calculations are necessary, parameter studies take more time than imagined.
Calculating and examining many constituent mechanical elements according to the evolution of ideas takes time.
For this reason it is difficult to predict the possibility of the original new idea.
We report cases and effects of efficiency improvement of calculation consideration at this concept stage.
