Abstract

Parts have associate elementary functions descriptions to each constructive detail. A first try to understand this relationship is to look for, if exists a clear-cut syntactic standard to create the functions description. After, it is necessary to establish some measure's method to evaluate how the functions are repeated in several mechanical parts with some existent standards and how to associate it to one or more elementary solid geometries, such as groove, hole, groove, round, chamfer, and others. This correlation may lead, initially, to the likely feature operator in CAD system, which is used to create solid geometries that accomplish the desired functions to the product. So, CAD 3D geometric modeling can be accomplished from the functions description executed for the parts that integrate the products technical systems. When a functions group with design meaning can be, in some way, associated to the solid geometry, it may realize a new paradigm in the mechanical design: the product design from the function-form transformation. This elementary functions description is closely to the geometric structure that gives the part's shapes. This article shows the process to identify functions description and its phrasal structure applied to the mechanical parts of an off-road Baja vehicle design.
