Automating Environmental Impact Assessment during the Conceptual Phase of Product Design

Thus, design knowledge and a description of the desired product existing product environmental impact assessment to automatically synthesize potential solutions. This work approaches are most beneficial to implementing changes focuses on a morphological matrix based approach that during the detailed design phase. In addition, impacts due operates on information stored in a design repository to to materials choices, manufacturing processes utilized, and output high-level descriptions of possible solutions. The transportation of an existing product can be evaluated and following section describes the data source and concept reduced. It has been recognized, however, that generation algorithm.
