✦ Synopsis
Some uses of the computer to help solve a class of multivariable design problems are given. The required input is a set of design variables and a set of interactions between these variables. The output consists of a hierarchy of groups of highly interacting variables. The preparation of the input and the interpretation of the output depend on the subjective nature and decisions made by the designer. An application is discu~ed in which different sets of inputs were compiled by three designers, using 18, 38, 58 and 185 variables. The outputs were compared in usefulness as a design aid in proportion to the effort required for their preparation.
