Abstract: Car
styling technique based on a new theoretical model of automotive
aerodynamics is introduced, which is proved to be feasible and
effective by wind tunnel tests. Development of a multi-module
software system from this technique, including modules of
knowledge processing, referential styling and ANN
aesthetic evaluation etc, capable of assisting car styling works
in an intelligent way, is also presented and discussed.
Key words: Automotive
