What does modern design method mean?

Modern design method is a science to study product design. It adopts new engineering design theory and method, and optimizes the calculation results with the help of electronic computer, making the design process efficient and automatic. The quality and economic benefit of products depend on the comprehensive level of design, manufacturing and management, and product design is the key. Without high-quality design, it is impossible to have high-quality products, but to achieve high-quality design, advanced design methods and means must be adopted.

Modern design method is a comprehensive science to study product design method. It involves a wide range of science, is the product of interdisciplinary integration, and is the product of people's comprehensive application of related science and technology in the design field. And one of the specific design methods is the intersection and integration of several disciplines. For example, optimization design is an organic combination of mathematical planning method and computer programming, and computer-aided design can be regarded as an organic combination of mathematical modeling, computer software and hardware technology, engineering graphics and so on. At the same time, modern design is the inheritance, extension and development of traditional design technology. From traditional design to modern design, it has the characteristics of sequence and inheritance. For example, traditional basic principles and methods such as kinematics, dynamics, structuralism and strength theory are the mathematical modeling basis of modern design methods and many branches of disciplines (such as reliability design, robust design and fatigue design). In addition, many modern design methods are developed by absorbing the essence of traditional design methods, such as modular design, optimization design and concurrent design. This section introduces several commonly used modern design methods.
