INTRODUCTION
You have carried out a functional analysis of your system and would like to know which solutions are likely to satisfy the technical functions identified. You can combine these functions with known or tried-and-tested solutions. In this way, you'll end up with a design solution that's certainly satisfactory, but which runs the risk of being routine.
If you want to bring out more creative solutions, you can decide to broaden your search. You can systematically explore the space of solutions using morphological analysis. Morphological analysis is a systematic creativity method invented by astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky (1898-1974).
In this file you will find :
the five steps for implementing the method ;
limitations and precautions for use.
