Figure 10
Visual representation of component placement in a design space, showing connections and potential locations for components labelled a, b, c, and d.This image consists of several diagrams labelled from (a) to (g) that illustrate the design space for placing components a, b, c, and d. Diagram (a) depicts the genome of the individual and the connectivity among the components, indicated by lines connecting the variable components and a control point. Diagram (b) shows the placement of component d, with circles representing the design space between components b and d. Arrows indicate connections between them. Diagram (c) identifies potential locations for component c within the design space between b and d. Diagram (d) depicts the actual placement of component c in relation to other components. Diagram (e) highlights potential locations for component a, with connections to components b, c, and d labelled. Diagram (f) illustrates the placement of component a, forming a triangle with components b and c. Finally, diagram (g) shows the placement of screw interfaces, depicted in a square layout with components a, b, c, and d categorized. The visual elements include dashed circles and arrows to indicate relationships and potential connection points.
