Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1683-4694 A theoretical reflection on smart shape modeling 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper presents, as far as the authors are aware, a complete and extended new taxonomy of shape specification modeling techniques and a characterization of shape design systems, all based on the relationship of users’ knowledge to the modeling system they use to generate shapes. In-depth knowledge of this relationship is not usually revealed in the regular university training courses such as bachelor’s, master’s and continuing education. For this reason, we believe that it is necessary to modify the learning process, offering a more global vision of all the currently existing techniques and extending training in those related to algorithmic modeling techniques. We consider the latter to be the most powerful current techniques for modeling complex shapes that cannot be modeled with the usual techniques known to date. Therefore, the most complete training should include everything from the usual geometry to textual programming. This would take us a step further along the way to more powerful design environments. The proposed taxonomy could serve as a guideline to help improve the learning process of students and designers in a complex environment with increasingly powerful requirements and tools. The term “smart” is widely used nowadays, e.g. smart phones, smart cars, smart homes, smart cities... and similar terms such as “smart shape modeling”. Nowadays, the term smart is applied from a marketing point of view, whenever an innovation is used to solve a complex problem. This is the case for what is currently called smart shape modeling. However, in the future; this concept should mean a much better design environment than today. The smart future requires better trained and skilled engineers, architects, designers or technical students. This means that they must be prepared to be able to contribute to the creation of new knowledge, to the use of innovations to solve complex problems of form, and to the extraction of the relevant pieces of intelligence from the growing volume of knowledge and technologies accessible today. Our taxonomy is presented from the point of view of methods that are possibly furthest away from what is considered today as “intelligent shape modeling” to the limit of what is achievable today and which the authors call “Generic Shape Algorithm”. Finally, we discuss the characteristics that a shape modeling system must have to be truly “intelligent”: it must be “proactive” in applying innovative ideas to achieve a solution to a complex problem. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T33-20D info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.429 2022 Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering 2022 Q2 Modeling and Simulation 2022 Q3 5.0 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Zaldívar, Ángel Blesa, Alfonso Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9688-2260 Celani, Gabriela Magallón, Juan Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3355-0055 5008 785 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
