Ground Vehicle Optimization regarding Aesthetic Completeness and Aerodynamic Characteristics by modification of Vehicle Modeling Function and Conceptual Design Process

摘要

Consideration of aerodynamic characteristics should be accompanied by the design process. To amplify the effectiveness of optimization and cost reduction, this aerodynamic optimization should be conducted at conceptual design process. This improved design process could also consider the completeness of artistic design. Meanwhile, to build or optimize 3-Dimensional shape of aircraft or ground vehicle, millions of approximated points are needed. But optimizing a number of points is inefficient and almost impossible. So by using improved Vehicle-modeling function for pickup truck and coupe, design efficiency for automobiles and other complex systems increases. In this paper, 5 staged design process developed to optimize for both values using VMF and aesthetic optimization.
