Automation Framework

Cyberphysical system design automation utilizing knowledge based engineering techniques with globally networked knowledge bases can tremendously improve the design process for emerging systems. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive architectural framework to improve the design process for cyberphysical systems (CPS) and implement a case study with Axiomatic Design Solutions Inc. to develop next generation toolsets utilizing knowledge-based engineering (KBE) systems adapted to multiple domains in the field of CPS design automation. The Cyberphysical System Design Automation Framework (CPSDAF) will be based on advances in CPS design theory based on current research and knowledge collected from global sources automatically via Semantic Web Services. A case study utilizing STEM students is discussed.

Use Of Knowledge

Competitive pressures are forcing manufacturers of turbine engines to reduce product development times, minimize design iterations, and react rapidly to changing markets and customers. Concurrent Engineering replaces the traditional sequential design process with parallel efforts in multiple disciplines, increasing product quality while reducing leadtime. Knowledge-Based Engineering captures product and process knowledge contained in the “corporate memory” to enhance and accelerate the design process. Linking the two together provides a wide variety of synergistic effects not separately available. In this paper a general description of the process used to create a Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) System capable of Concurrent Engineering (CE) will be presented, along with selected results. The summary discusses use of the system created to pursue real world design problems.

Knowledge Based Design

Abstract Pedal packaging is a complex and tedious design process involving trade-offs among many related activities, including driver placement and engine compartment layout. Pedal layout design requires checks of candidate designs against large libraries of standards. Designers of pedal assemblies must carefully follow these regulations and standards, and manually come up with the pedal layout design. Differences in interpretation of the regulations result in inconsistent designs. A knowledge-based design assistant, named PEDAL, has been designed and developed to help automotive package designers overcome these problems. This paper reviews the needs of the pedal package designer in the framework of the abilities of knowledge-based engineering. PEDAL’s prototype implementation and its combined knowledge base of design standards are described.

Formal Design

This article focuses on the optimization of a design process, in the context of automotive subcontracting opportunity. This optimization is guided by the underlying manufacturing process and by the industrial knowledge. We first show that the actual design studies are biased by the final goal (a formal design) and do not take into account early industrial needs (a draft design to draw up an estimate). We then demonstrate how an automaker subcontractor optimizes the early design process thanks to industrial knowledge.

Purpose This paper aims to present a knowledge-based fuel system, implementation and application, oriented towards its use in aircraft conceptual design. Design/methodology/approach Methodology and software tools oriented to knowledge-based engineering applications (MOKA) is used as a foundation for the implementation and integration of fuel systems. Findings Including fuel systems earlier in the design process creates an opportunity to optimize it and obtain better solutions by allocating suitable locations in an aircraft, thereby reflecting on the centre of gravity of the aircraft. Research limitations/implications All geometries are symbolic, representing a space allocation inside the aircraft for the fuel system. A realistic representation of the real components could be realized in detail design. Practical implications Fuel weight is a significant part of take-off weight and decisive in aircraft sizing and range estimations. The three-dimensional geometry provides a better estimation of the volume that is available to allocate the necessary entities. It also provides fast measures for weight and balance, fuel capacity, relative tank positions and a first estimation of piping length. Originality/value Fuel systems appear early in the design process, as they are involved in several first estimations. By using a knowledge-based engineering approach, several alternatives can be visualized and estimated in the conceptual design process. Furthermore, using the weights and centre of gravity at different angles of pitch and roll of each fuel tank, the aircraft could be optimized for handling qualities by using automatically generated system simulation models.

Abstract An emerging technology known as Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) is the next step beyond CAD for product representation. KBE allows a true virtual prototype to be developed that represents both the geometric and the non-geometric characteristics of a product. A graduate level design course based on this technology is described. A new version of the design process is presented for the development of a virtual prototype. Examples of a product that was modeled, a hand held vacuum, are also presented.

Abstract This paper presents an advisory conceptual design tool for mechanical transmission systems. Space consideration was taken into account during the design process. A prototype function tree was built in the form of knowledge-based system to transfer a designer’s idea into a set of mechanical components. An advisory expert system was also developed to help a designer in decision making. As an example, a packaging machine is designed using the developed system.
