Abstract

The selection of optimal engineering solutions is one of the main tasks in the development of any project. When choosing engineering solutions, you need to consider factors such as project goals and requirements, budget, deadlines, available resources, and the ability to scale and support the selected technologies. The analysis should take into account parameters such as performance, reliability, security, usability, and cost and complexity of implementation. The article discusses the formation of a morphological set of engineering solutions, their analysis, synthesis and subsequent clustering. On the one hand, the multiplicity of solutions must be representative, and on the other hand, limited, since the resources for their modelling are limited. In conclusion, it is concluded that the average estimates increase to 18% when generating 4% of variants and 20% when generating 20% of options. This allows you to limit the number of solutions that can be generated. The use of the approach is seen as part of computer aided innovations and IT technologies. Thus, when applying the proposed approach, it is possible to conduct a comparative analysis of many engineering solutions and choose the one that will be the most effective and convenient for a particular project.
