We have developed a decomposition-based rapid redesign methodology for large and complex computational redesign problems. While the overall methodology consists of two general steps: diagnosis and repair, in this paper we focus on the repair step in which decomposition patterns are utilized for redesign planning. Resulting from design diagnosis, a typical decomposition pattern solution to a given redesign problem indicates the portions of the design model necessary for recomputation as well as the interaction part within the model accountable for design change propagation. Following this, in this paper we suggest repair actions with an approach derived from an input pattern solution, to generate a redesign road map allowing for taking a shortcut in the redesign solution process. To do so, a two-stage redesign planning approach from recomputation strategy selection to redesign road map generation is proposed. An example problem concerning the redesign of a relief valve is used for illustration and validation.
