Abstract In the field of case-based reasoning (CBR), the derivation of so-called ‘similarity measures’ is an unresolved open question. In this work dimensional analysis is used to derive appropriate similarity conditions for a CBR technique. For the subclass of all case descriptions consisting of real-valued quantities with physical units, it is shown how the Pi-Theorem can be used to construct similarity conditions from these case descriptions. Within this approach a proof for the correctness of the CBR technique can be derived. The properties of the CBR technique using dimensionless groups indicate that it bears some potential in engineering design, where knowledge in the form of analytical equations is not always available. Often only pointwise and/or incomplete knowledge about the future design object in the form of previous designs, prototypes or simulation results is available and appears in certain cases to be sufficient for the new CBR technique.

CBR (Case-based reasoning) technique is increasingly applied in the process planning and dies intelligent design for stamping parts. In these applications, stamping parts information acts as the problem domain of cases model, while stamping process and die information as the answer domain. The similarity computation and retrieval of stamping parts are essential to the case-based design of stamping process planning and dies. In this paper, that issue is studied targeting automotive panel as the research object, and a retrieval method for similar panel parts based on the automobile panel coding is proposed. The coding structure is designed considering the automobile panel's features, especially the geometry shape features and their relationship. And the corresponding similarity calculation method is put forward. Finally, a case study is used to reveal the effectiveness of this methodology.
