Overview
This is an interactive knowledge database for Multifunctional Bio-inspired Design (MBID) Ideation System
Multifunctional Bio-inspired Design (MBID) is a unique rapid ideation system for generating multifunctional and multiscale conceptual bio-inspired designs. This system consists of five components:
This web application provides an overview of the MBID ideation system and includes a link to Bio-inspired Knowledge Acquisition and Simulacrum (BIKAS). Key features of BIKAS include:
Features
