Research on method of ETO product configuration design and multidisciplinary optimization

ETO product was mostly complicated product, and it was designed on the basis of especial customer requirement. The framework of ETO product configuration design and multidisciplinary optimization was put forward, through analyzing key problem of ETO configuration design; based on design knowledge and tabular layouts of article characteristics, designer could fleetly configure ETO product in accord with customer requirement, which could increased reuse of parts; through optimizing result of configuration design, designer could improve choice of parts and reduce iteration in design process. A numerical control figuration grinder product example was given to verify the feasibility of principle.
