Weighted-Properties Method (Digital Logic method)
STEP 1:- Each material property (“criteria”) is assigned a weighting factor (wi ) between 0 and 1 relative to its importance to the overall design.
Material Selection Process: Upper Body
STEP 3:- Weighted property index is calculated by multiplying the scaling factor by the weight factor. Then the summed for the criteria.
Material Selection Process: Upper Body

Results From Various RelationsWe have reduced our primary problems areas and found out possible areas where we could redesign and increase the part functions efficiency
Possible redesign parts:
Front upper body
Back upper body
Screw fasteners
Insulation foils
Switches
Fan
Possible Redesign Parts ExplainedBodyDecreasing thicknessReduced material cost Joining front and back bodyReduced partsDifferent shape rear For higher efficiency of air intake
Insulation foilsUsing alignments hot spotsUsing 4 instead of 2 to counter heating problem that may arise from reduced
