Conceptual design method for free form headlamp of automobile by case-based reasoning

The styling design of auto-body requires a design scheme of its free form headlamp quickly that is satisfied with illumination and lighting requirements. According to the principle of case-based reasoning （CBR） methodology, this paper firstly studied the object-oriented case representation models for the free form headlamp. Then, a headlamp case index model and matching algorithms were established according to the nearest neighborhood method of case retrieval and applying some preprocessing tools, such as the headlamp bounding box and the layout reference frame. By representing the design knowledge and constraints of free form headlamp, this paper built an appropriate case matching algorithms to obtain a design scheme for free form headlamp and presented case adaptation strategies, combining dimension-driven with constrain satisfaction, to modify case solution fitting with the current problem definition. The application example showed the feasibility and practicability of the present methods on solving the conflict between engineering requirements and styling design. As a result, these methods may introduce design requirements into the conceptual design stage of free form headlamp and quickly achieve appropriate design scheme.
