Abstract

See full text

The techniques disclosed herein help designers find interesting designs for small electrical, mechanical, and/or hydraulic mechanisms by exhaustively enumerating the design space given a library of components and a maximum number of components allowed per design. Some embodiments work by creating a design space grammar of designs, solving the equations associated with parts of the grammar, and putting the solutions into equivalence classes. This dramatically reduces the number of designs that have to be evaluated to see if they satisfy the design criteria. The result is often a small number of base designs that show the range of possible solutions to the design problem.
