HighlightsA knowledge-based rapid design system for combine chassis is proposed.Object-oriented knowledge representation uniformly describes the multi-source heterogeneous design knowledge.Multivariate linear regression analysis ratiocinates further unknown design principles behind existing products.Abstract. In the design of agricultural machinery, the lack of systematic and structured knowledge utilization systems results in low development efficiency and poor reusability of design knowledge. This study considers the design of a combine chassis and focuses on the application of knowledge-based rapid design to agricultural machinery. As a typical sophisticated agricultural machine, combines have a complicated design that requires the integration of multiple disciplines according to the crop types, production areas, and ability of the designers. Hence, a knowledge-based design system for a wheeled combine chassis is proposed. By integrating object-oriented technology with a mixed reasoning strategy, multi-source heterogeneous design knowledge can be applied in completing the chassis design task. To date, there are more than 2000 design ideas and 350 parameter models in the knowledge database. In addition, tacit design knowledge acquired by a knowledge discovery method can be employed to perfect the design and improve the reliability of the product. The design of a combine chassis demonstrates that the knowledge-based rapid design of agricultural machinery is completely feasible, and the design system significantly reduces the design workload, shortens the development cycle, and improves design efficiency and knowledge utilization. Keywords: Combine chassis, Knowledge-based design system, Knowledge-based engineering, Rapid design.

According to the different fellower structure and general simple trapezoid motion law of cam mechanism, this paper established a mathematic model for the motion of fellower structure of cam mechanism. The design method of motion law of the fellower structure was introduced, and the law of motion transition of fellower system and the related issues with program design were studied. A design system was developed using VB code based fellower structure and general motion laws. And the system could solve the curve of motion law for the fellower system and the eigenvalue of the curve, and finally realize parametric design of motion law for the fellower structure of cam mechanism. And the system could calculate and output the coordinate of cam configuration, and improve the digitized design process of cam parametric. The interface of the designed system is friendly and convenient, and the system could be used in both engineering and teaching.

Within the scope of the Royal Netherlands Navy’s Walrus class replacement programme, DMO embarked in 2015 in developing a set of tools to generate and assess submarine concept designs. MARIN took up the challenge to develop a design workflow SUPREME on the basis of its Quaestor3 knowledge engineering framework [van Hees 1997, 2003, 2009]. Within this workflow a number of proprietary and often confidential tools should be plugged in to perform e.g. propulsion system dimensioning, weight estimation and for assessment of trimming and compensation capabilities. These ‘satellite’ tools are mostly developed for, or by, DMO. As a design system, SUPREME becomes fully operational at DMO where workflow and proprietary tools come together. The developmental focus of MARIN is the SUPREME workflow which deals with design knowledge representation and design data management. The two major challenges in its development were the topological representation and the weight management methodology. This paper will discuss the first one, the development of a submarine topological representation using the CAD system RhinocerosTM as externally controlled geometry generator. This combines high accuracy with adaptability and enables naval architects to constantly monitor the weight and volume balances and trimming / compensation capabilities of concept submarines already in the earliest stages of design.

The article deals with the design process of low-frequency rectangular electrical connectors and determining the position CAD/CAE-systems in it. The review of the actual literature shows that development trends of design and technological preparation of low-frequency rectangular electrical connectors production mean using CAD/CAM/CAE-systems. But at the moment these systems are used for solving partial issues. The authors formalize the empirical method of the design and systemize the factors, which influence the design process. As a result of the mentioned above actions, the working algorithm of the multipurpose CAD/CAE electrical connectors design system was obtained. The results of the research were applied to automize the design process of connectors housings.

AbstractSince the end of the 1990s, there has been an increasing interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) planning techniques to solve real-life problems. In addition to characteristics of academic problems, such as the need to reason about actions, real-life problems require detailed knowledge elicitation, engineering, and management. A systematic design process in which Knowledge and Requirements Engineering tools play a fundamental role is necessary in such applications. One of the main challenges in such design process, and consequently in the study of Knowledge Engineering in AI planning, has been the analysis of requirements and their subsequent transformation into an input-ready model for planners. itSIMPLE is a research project dedicated to the study of a project process to support the design phases of real-life planning models. In this paper, we give an overview of itSIMPLE focusing on the main translation processes among a minimal set of representations: from requirements represented in Unified Modeling Language (UML) to Petri Nets and from UML models to planning domain definition language for problem solving.

Traditional agricultural machinery design methods usually go through longer-design cycle and can hardly make good use of existing knowledge and experience. In view of this problem, parametric design theory and knowledge-based engineering were applied to the disc-scoop-type metering device designed to improve the design experience and reuse design knowledge. Through the knowledge-based parametric design method, the design framework model of disc-scoop-type metering device was put forward. The knowledge library on the basis of design rules and characteristic similarity-based case library were created, and disc-scoop-type metering device parametric design system based on knowledge had been developed on the platform of Pro/Engineering. The rapid design for knowledge-driven model of disc-scoop-type metering device was realized. The specific design examples clearly indicated that the establishment of the system considerately improved the quality and efficiency of the design.

Most fixture design process are based on the reuse of the previous design knowledge and experience, in this paper, we use a case-based design (CBD) method to design fixture. Based on the analysis of various CBD methods, we found that most methods used to calculate the similarity between new part and cases are too single, so we put forward a method combining the semantic attribute similarity and the shape similarity together, use a weighted algorithm to calculate the similarity. Using this method, we designed a Fixture Design System on CATIA V5 R19, and use this system to retrieve and design fixture, the retrieved results are more close to the new part and reusable, the design process is more efficient.
