Abstract

Designers often face the challenge of getting stuck with rigid and dogmatic ideas, leading to a limited number of design options being produced. While experience and talent can help overcome this, it can still take a significant amount of time and effort. This study proposes a repeatable, dynamic process that transforms all design components into parameters, creates a structural analysis model, and performs an optimization process that integrates design and structural analysis. Thus, by leveraging the power of technology, designers can generate a larger number of high-quality design options quickly and efficiently. The article evaluates the effectiveness of this proposed method in generating 2D lattice design concepts and highlights its ability to improve the quality of the design options generated and simplify the idea and concept generation process. The novelty of this method lies in its ability to create a flexible and dynamic approach to design, enabling designers to move beyond dogmatic ideas and generate a larger number of innovative design options. Another purpose of this article is to explore the potential of computer-aided computational design software in generating new and innovative design concepts.
