Abstract Substantial literature using knowledge-based system techniques has been accumulated over the past few years in the fields of diagnostics, modeling and design. Many of these techniques have been successfully used by a wide variety of industrial companies. The purpose of this paper is to present a summary of these new techniques, and an examination of their advantages and limitations for industrial applications. These techniques will help to insure the integrity of future concurrent design and manufacturing development. The purpose of our survey study is to show that the design and modeling of product functions and their associated diagnostic processes should be tightly coupled. The design and diagnostic tasks should be supported by integrated and intelligent software. Many examples of knowledge-based systems for disk drive diagnostics and design will also be included.

Product Definition

Abstract This paper describes a new, and unique, system for design and analysis of a family of parts with a specific focus on gas turbine nozzles. The system, built on the tenets of knowledge-based engineering (KBE) within an object-oriented framework, supports the notion of scalable products that can be resized through reparametrization. The KBE system for the parametric design of nozzles has been integrated with a Topology and Geometry Utility System (TAGUS) and geometry-based mesh generators (QUADTREE and EXTREME) to develop a turnkey system. The resulting system is shown to help reduce the design cycle time and to increase engineering productivity by representing design and manufacturing information as part of the complete product definition.

Knowledge Based Design

Abstract The concept of “Features” has been recognized as a neutral form of communication between design and manufacturing. Since virtually all CAD systems define part models using B-Rep or CSG formats, a facility is needed to convert geometry based part models to ones which are feature based. This paper outlines the framework of a facility which would enable part models from any type of CAD system to be converted to a format which could be analyzed using a knowledge based design system. This facility relies on the user to recognize and isolate the individual features of the model and then extracts the dimensions, locations and relative positioning of the features within the model. These features are then organized into a feature graph for the construction of a feature based part representation. The procedures for the construction of this part representation include feature instantiation, feature placement and functional specification.
