Distributed Design with Large Product Data Models

Abstract This paper presents a new method called Functional Skeletons and its usage for a product data model for the design process. The Functional Skeletons represent the main functional flows in a product and allow the efficient storage of designs as well as the generation of verified (in respect to their specification) products. The Functional Skeletons can be used as the basis of a new type of product data models.

Project Participants

The primary objective of this paper is to develop the product data models, in which systematic information is defined for accumulating, exchanging, and sharing in the maintenance of concrete highway bridges. The information requirement and existing issues and solutions were analyzed based on the life cycle and the standardization for sharing. The member data models and business data models that defined design and construction information and accumulated results information were developed. The maintenance business process in which project participants utilize the product data model was described as utilization scenario. The utilization frameworks which define information flow were developed.

Product And Process

Abstract The integration in computer integrated manufacturing systems (CIMs) plays a significant role in improving the quality and productivity. To achieve this objective, a uniform product and process representation and an effective, comprehensive and reliable data exchange mechanism are required. Recent works on product data integration have led to STEP (international Standard for Exchange of Product data models). In this paper, we define a model which integrates the STEP product data models with process data models. The idea of classification of STEP product data models is used to classify the process data models. Examples from mechanical industries are included to demonstrate the features of this model.

Cad Cam

Abstract Data modeling is proposed as a means to address the complexities of CAD/CAM databases. The distinctions between product data models and those in general databases are reviewed. A data model, called EDM, is presented that incorporates features that are defined to response to these differences. A review is given of data modeling analyses carried out thus far regarding database extensibility, including support for open-ended knowledge domains.
