Many design methods of mechanical product are based on a functional modeling of the system. These function-based design methodologies use decomposed functions to match the functions to physical parts. However, it is somewhat difficult making innovative design to use only functional approach. This paper describes the design process of a train bogie with a design expert system with function taxonomy and TRIZ that enables innovative design. The functional model of a new brake system in the bogie is made with the design process.
