In this paper, we introduce three visual steering commands to support trade space exploration and demonstrate their use within a powerful data visualization tool that allows designers to explore multidimensional trade spaces using glyph, 1D and 2D histograms, 2D scatter, scatter matrix, and parallel coordinate plots, linked views, brushing, preference shading, and Pareto frontier display. In particular, we define three user-guided samplers that enable designers to explore (1) the entire design space, (2) near a point of interest, or (3) within a region of high preference. We illustrate these three samplers with a vehicle configuration model that evaluates the technical feasibility of new vehicle concepts. Future research is also discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.3243633","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,24]],"date-time":"2009-11-24T18:46:55Z","timestamp":1259088415000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Visual Steering Commands for Trade Space Exploration: User-Guided Sampling With Example"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Gary","family":"Stump","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16804"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Lego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16804"}]},{"given":"Mike","family":"Yukish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 16804"}]},{"given":"Timothy W.","family":"Simpson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802"}]},{"given":"Joseph A.","family":"Donndelinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vehicle Development Research Laboratory, General Motors Research and Development Center, Warren, MI 48090"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2019100513550258000_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"370","DOI":"10.1115\/1.2429697","article-title":"Review of Metamodeling Techniques in Support of Engineering Design Optimization","volume":"129","author":"Wang","journal-title":"ASME J.
