A Synthetic Tradespace Model for Tradespace Analysis and Exploration

Abstract

Tradespace analysis and exploration is used to frame a design problem. By taking stock of available technologies, predictions of the performance of a system defined from a combinatorial combination of technologies (from say a morphological matrix) can be made. Based on these assessments, tradeoffs between functional performance objectives (often termed simply Functional Objectives or FOs) can be made. The result of these performance tradeoffs or Trades, can then be used to define a target design space for a problem. That design space can then be characterized with criteria to determine the viability of the tradespace and the design problem.
