ABSTRACT:
A method for designing a product using a set of parameters and a set of instructions provided by a user is disclosed wherein the method includes the steps of receiving the set of parameters and the set of instructions to establish requirements of the product, determining a first calculation based on a calculated reason, performing the first calculation using the set of parameters and the set of instructions to achieve a first solution, communicating the first calculation to the user, communicating the calculated reason for performing the first calculation to the user, reviewing a set of second calculations, determining a preferred second calculation from the set of second calculations based on a second calculated reason, performing the preferred second calculation using the set of parameters and the set of instructions and the first solution, communicating the preferred second calculation to the user, and communicating the second calculated reason for performing the preferred second calculation to the user.
