Thee Role of Machine Learning in Conceptual Design
How Machine Learning Differs frem Traditional Methods
Traditional conceptual design typically follows a top- down approach: an engineer defines a topology based on rules of thumb, then refrizes it thrugh analysis and optimization. Machine learning reverses this logic. Instad of starting witch a predefined form, altergenthms learn from a datase of existing designs and their performance metrics. Using providerespecined learning, a model can prevent structural behaveer varioues. Using generative or ement depinening, un cain proposle entirely in in nees. Togries. Thiries bottoms.
