In the field of automotive, innovation is required to utilise energy saving potentials which becomes an increasing factor in this industry. The creation of innovative solutions can be supported by methodical approaches. The chosen approach for this research supports the enhancement of creativity. It is based on the search for physical effects. In the context of this research, physical effects are gathered for utilising energy saving potentials. The list of effects is filled in a matrix which is structured by the two categories of source energy and target energy. Physical effects which convert a certain form of dissipated energy into a form of target energy arc stored in the corresponding cells of the matrix. The advantage of this structure is the possibility of a purpose oriented search for possible solutions. It allows multiple views on physical effects like the view on certain effects which convert thermal dissipated energy into a desired one. The developed matrix can be seen as a special form of catalogues which are used to provide physical effects for designers to stimulate their creativity. Most of such catalogues are paper based. Their usage can be improved by extending dynamic data management or re-use of data. Hence, the matrix is enhanced to a digital relational database during this research. This improves the access to the stored physical effects in comparison to the matrix. It allows an extension of the functionality's of existing catalogues by introducing a functional view. The benefit of this approach is the accelerated access to required information about physical effects and possible solutions as well as about different views dependent on the given task.
