Zusammenfassung:Designing the shapes of products is the primary activity of the design process. In this paper, we propose a new model representing free form shape features with the aim of making the system capable of holding and manipulating the shape features after synthesis in order to support the designer early in the design process. The key concept of this study is the shape feature generating process model (SFGP model) which consists of numerous sets of rules using the classifier system (CS). Finally, a computer program was developed to evaluate the model by combining two existing shapes to verify that the shape features of each shape are preserved in the combined shape. It was demonstrated that the model can produce a variety of combined shapes with original, often exaggerated, features.
