Abstract
The report summarises a study of several artefacts to identify the difficulties associated with their synthesis and analysis directly using physical phenomena/effects and what could be done to support a designer in synthesis and analysis of these artefacts. The study highlights some major reasons as to why analysis/synthesis using physical phenomena of effects is difficult, and in some cases impossible. It then discusses, how, given the above difficulties, support synthesis and analysis by designers could be supported.
