TL;DR: Key findings include the necessity for improved methodological support and adherence, the need for a quantitative framework to assess the viability and success of KBE development and implementation projects, and the opportunity to move towards mass customization approaches through distributed deployment of K BE in the extended enterprise.
TL;DR: The programming approach, which is a distinctive aspect of state-of-the-art KBE systems, is discussed in detail, to illustrate its effectiveness in capturing and re-using engineering knowledge to automate large portions of the design process.
TL;DR: A knowledge based engineering system (KBES) to extend the current capabilities of automotive body-in-white (BIW) engineers to respond dynamically to changes within a rapid timeframe and to assess the effects of change with respect to the constraints imposed upon them by other product cycle factors.
TL;DR: The current limitations of Computer Aided Design tools are discussed and the use of knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) in the creation of a concept development tool, to organise information flow and as an architecture for the effective implementation of rapid design solutions is reported on.
Abstract: This paper discusses the current limitations of Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and reports on the use of knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) in the creation of a concept development tool, to organise information flow and as an architecture for the effective implementation of rapid design solutions The KBE tool along with supporting analytical solutions has been applied to the Body-In-White area of automotive design The present methods of using CAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) systems do not use a unified product/process model representation and lead to the creation of separate non-relation data models that only capture the result of the engineering process The KBE method unifies the engineering intent into a single model that allows for existing or novel design solutions to be assessed These design solutions can then represent themselves in the correct form to the analysis systems Automeshing is achieved using a rule-base that meshes the model with respect to the analysis solution required, materials and processes
