Abstract
This research work focusses on visualization techniques to support the product developer at the product synthesis, which can be implemented in a design support tool. The method uses metamodels, which predict approximatively product properties from combinations of characteristics. The metamodel is fitted to simulation data. The visualization enables a deeper comprehension of the correlations between product characteristics and product properties as well as among the properties.
