A Study On Automobile Form Design Support Method "AFD-SM"

Abstract

In this research, by assigning attention to the automobile “form,” details that were previously ambiguous, such as “roundness” and “angle”, are represented numerically. With the aim of measuring the degree of influence of customer sensibility, the “Automobile Design Form Support Method (ADF-SM)”is utilized. Using CAD, the authors have constructed a model of a form-altered automobile to quantitatively evaluate the degree of influence of customer sensitivity. By using this support method, an automobile form is created, which expresses the concept sought by the customer, verifying its effectiveness.
