Abstract

Background: Nature-inspired designs, which have evolved from proven strategies of nature, have been a constant source of inspiration for designers and engineers to solve real-life problems.

Methods: Current bionic design methods are theoretical and are discordant with the design engineering workflow. A proposed methodology suggests suitable bionic forms for a given design space. This procedure consists of the following stages: bionic representation, relation, emulation, engineering specifications, design verification, optimisation (BREED), and finally, realisation.

Results: This methodology aims to function as a systematic problem-solving approach to retrieve structural inspirations from nature and mimic its form.

Conclusion: The inspiration and validation phases of the bionic structure are represented as a Vmodel. The designer can leverage this framework to develop novel bionic design concepts.

Keywords: Biomimicry, computer-aided design, design automation, design methodology, engineering design, BREED.
