Abstract Existing successful design cases are applied in design process which adopts analogybased design (ABD) and theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ)to make the two processes have some level of similarity. On the basis of analyzing the principles of ABD and TRIZ, the idea, taking TRIZ solution model and corresponding design example as the source design of ABD and then determining object design and creative design through analogybased design process, is proposed.Improving design of a paper machine demonstrates this method’s feasibility.
