Abstract
Abstract Typically, design of a complex system starts by setting targets for its performance characteristics. Then, design engineers cascade these targets to the components and design the components to meet these targets. It is important to have efficient tools that check if a set of performance targets for a component corresponds to a feasible design and determine the dimensions and mass of this design. This paper describes a method to develop tools that relate response parameters that describe the performance of a component to the physical design variables that specify its geometry. Neural networks and response surface polynomials are used to rapidly predict the performance characteristics of the components given the component dimensions. The method is demonstrated on design of an automotive joint. The paper compares neural networks and response surface polynomials and shows that they are almost equally accurate for the problem considered.
