Abstract
Functional design is a key step in the product design process, whether original or redesign. To push functional design into the realm of repeatable and computational, this paper proposes an automated functional design approach. The realization of function is supported by effect chain which is produce by effects using six effect modes. This approach can produce numerous feasible principle solutions in conceptual design process. A design example for functional design of a Chinese medicine mechanism is presented to demonstrate the proposed functional design methodology.
