The patent application (Publication Number: US20240028787A1) describes a computer-implemented method for generating design solutions to various design problems. The method involves receiving a design model associated with a specific problem, creating multi-dimensional data points based on the model, mapping the model to nodes in a self-organizing map, and displaying visual representations of the design models within a design space. The multi-dimensional data points consist of feature values corresponding to different aspects of the design model, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the design problem.

Furthermore, the method includes steps for modifying design models, generating training data points, and creating a trained self-organizing map to facilitate the visualization and analysis of different design solutions. By mapping design models to specific nodes within the map, the method enables the comparison of various design iterations and their relationships. The patent application also covers the storage of instructions on non-transitory computer-readable media and the implementation of the method using a system comprising memory and a processor. Overall, the method outlined in the patent application offers a structured approach to generating and analyzing design solutions, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the design process.
