With the aim of synthesizing technical systems by using physical laws, an engineering designer proceeds from the fact that a great majority of physical laws includes variables and constants, which describe the essential geometry needed for their realization. For each physical law, a complementary basic scheme is chosen. The method presented in the article is based on the premise that if it is possible to describe a technical system with a physical law or a chain of physical laws, then it should also be possible to set up its basic geometry from a complementary basic scheme or from a chain of complementary basic schemata. The method enables a partially automatic approach to the elementary embodiment process and also provides support for elementary embodiment design.
