Conceptual design chains with basic schematics based on an algorithm of conceptual design

On the basis of the premise that technical systems are designed by chaining physical laws, the LECAD laboratory has developed a conceptual design algorithm and also based on it a computer program with 139 physical laws (we began with only 30). This paper presents the algorithm and its later supplements, the principle of performing the chaining, an example of the conceptual design of a simple technical system and an analysis of the results obtained using the computer program. The purpose of this analysis was primarily to show the effects of the supplemented algorithm on the generation of conceptual design chains, and the fact that a combinatorial explosion does not occur.
