分形设计:复杂产品设计的新途径

Fractal Design: A New Approach to Design for Complex Products

运用非线性科学研究面向CIMS的智能设计，即以创新设计为核心的人机智能化设计系统，提出了分形设计作为面向复杂产品的设计方法学。从设计对象、设计思维和设计实施等方面介绍了分形设计的核心内容概要，其结果表明：设计对象的分形结构是其复杂性之源；设计思维的混沌机制是其创造性之源；设计实施的嵌套模式是其有效性之源。分形设计为复杂产品设计提供了新的途径。

By utilizing the nonlinear sciences, this paper makes a study on the intelligent design in CIMS, viz.,man-machine intelligent systems which concentrate on the creative design. Fractal design is proposed as a design methodology for complex products. The outline of key parts in fractal design is introduced from the aspects of design object, thinking and implementation. The results show that the fractal structure of a design object is the source of its complexity, the chaotic mechanism of design thinking is the source of its creativity, and the nested pattern of design implementation is the source of its effectiveness. Fractal design offers a new approach to design for complex products.
