Abstract:
Design can be defined as the human activity aimed to conceive and develop the “best” constructive solution, capable to perform a given function. In this paper we will present the conception of a data base capable to archive constructive solutions related to a given function: such a data-base can become the starting point of the design process and a useful tool for the designer. The structure of this data-base has been conceived starting from the schema of the design process, in order to store a functional model derived from several functional representations available in the technical literature.
