Abstract
The generalized optimization process for mechanical product is proposed which includes functional optimization phase, conceptual design optimization phase, technical design optimization phase (that is further divided into product modeling phase, optimization process scheduling phase, optimization modeling phase and multi-computer collaborative optimizing phase), and result analysis and evaluation phase. The characteristics of the generalized optimization are incarnated such as oriented to the design of entire system, whole process and overall performance of a product and combined with human intelligent and artificial intelligent optimization. The functions and the achieved strategies of each key phase in the generalized optimization process are discussed. A prototype of the generalized optimization supported system for mechanical product is preliminarily established.
