Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented display system for visualizing the effect of selected values of a plurality of design variables on a plurality of performance attributes, said display system comprising: a processor having an input for accepting instructions and an output for driving a visual display; a plurality of control graphs generated on said display using said output of said processor, said control graphs showing relationships between said design variables and said performance attributes; a plurality of performance graphs generated on said display using said output of said processor, said performance graphs showing relationships between said performance attributes; a plurality of decision graphs generated on said display using said output of said processor, said decision graphs showing relationships between said design variables; and a design-interface coupled to said input of said processor, said design-interface enabling a user to manipulate said design variables, wherein manipulation of said design variables causes display of an effect of said manipulation on said performance attributes, and display of a functional relationship between performance attributes.
