Abstract: Seven types of primary mappings unit, which exist between
functions, behaviors and carriers generally in conceptual design
process, are identified according to the characteristics of the
conceptual design of mechanical products. Hierarchical function solving
framework with hybrid mappings is set up by establishing the logical
relationships between different types of primary mappings unit. Three
kinds of existing models for function solving in conceptual design are
compared with the proposed framework. The function solving of “link
cloth” in garment industry is used as a case study to show the effective
of the proposed framework.
Key words: Conceptual design Primary mappings unit type Hierarchical
function solving Hybrid mappings
