Abstract
The present paper describes the first step in building an interactive computer-aided system for preliminary structural design of plane frames. This system is such that if an initial shape which partially satisfies design specifications is inputted by a designer, the system will automatically modify the shape so as to fulfill all specifications, or tell the designer to input an alternative shape with reference to knowledge bases. To make remodeling feasible, the design specifications are resolved into shape design variables, geometric constraints and mechanical constraints. Free design variables are determined by the forward reasoning system to fulfill constraint relations. During remodeling, the system checks inconsistency between design variables with constraint relations and generates alternative plans satisfying the constraints. Some examples of remodeling processes are given.
