According to the state-of-the-art of design process management, a new management method is presented in this paper. Firstly, a design process is divided into three layers: harmony layer, purpose layer and action layer. Secondly, considering the operation features in every design process layer, tasks are divided into four categories, and the relevant models are proposed subsequently. Finally, the framework of a design guide management system is presented, and an example of engine design process is used to illustrate the efficiency of this method. It is approved that the design guide can accumulate design process knowledge and improve design efficiency.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a knowledge-enabled digital twin for smart design (KDT-SD) of aircraft assembly line (AAL) to enhance the AAL efficiency, performance and visibility. Modern AALs usually need to have capabilities such as digital-physical interaction and self-evaluation that brings significant challenges to traditional design method for AAL. The digital twin (DT) combining with reusable knowledge, as the key technologies in this framework, is introduced to promote the design process by configuring, understanding and evaluating design scheme. Design/methodology/approach The proposed KDT-SD framework is designed with the introduction of DT and knowledge. First, dynamic design knowledge library (DDK-Lib) is established which could support the various activities of DT in the entire design process. Then, the knowledge-driven digital AAL modeling method is proposed. At last, knowledge-based smart evaluation is used to understand and identify the design flaws, which could further improvement of the design scheme. Findings By means of the KDT-SD framework proposed, it is possible to apply DT to reduce the complexity and discover design flaws in AAL design. Moreover, the knowledge equips DT with the capacities of rapid modeling and smart evaluation that improve design efficiency and quality. Originality/value The proposed KDT-SD framework can provide efficient design of AAL and evaluate the design performance in advance so that the feasibility of design scheme can be improved as much as possible.

Aiming at the complicated design process and expensive design software of packaging carton, the completely parametric design system of packaging carton was developed according to the general method and model of structural design and the general form of the graphic display and output of packaging carton on the Visual Basic and AutoCAD platform. A new design pattern for packaging carton was formed in this system, which can design the structural graphic of packaging carton on the Visual Basic and exhibit it in the AutoCAD. Its workflow accorded with traditional one. The system can remedy the limitation of design process, improve design efficiency, and reduce the design cost.

With the increase demand for product diversity, the best way is to shorten design cycle of product and improve design efficiency. This paper presents an assembly design method of product by means of the use of Solid Edge ST4 3D synchronous modeling technology. In this paper, an industrial manipulator was studied as an example, which was used to account for the design process of assembly design based on synchronous technology and the characteristic of this design method. In the process of design, intelligent assembly technology, top-down assembly technology and synchronous assembly technology are combined with the design of industrial manipulator. The results show that this assembly design method is more convenience to modify design model, can greatly improve design efficiency and accuracy and reduce the iterative design process of similar model, thus greatly improve the product quality.

Conventional design practices regard gender as a given precondition defined by femininity and masculinity. To shift these strategies to include non-heteronormative or queer users, queer theory served as a source of inspiration as well as user sensitive design techniques. As a result, a co-design workshop was developed and executed. Participants supported claims that gender scripts in designed artefacts uphold gender norms. The practice did not specify a definition of a queer design style. However, the co-design practice opened up the design process to non-normative gender scripts by unmasking binary gender dichotomies in industrial design.

AbstractBiobased production has been promoted as a sustainable alternative to fossil resources. However, controversies over its impact on sustainability highlight societal concerns, value tensions and uncertainties that have not been taken into account during its development. In this work, the consideration of stakeholders’ values in a biorefinery design project is investigated. Value sensitive design (VSD) is a promising approach to the design of technologies with consideration of stakeholders’ values, however, it is not directly applicable for complex systems like biorefineries. Therefore, some elements of VSD, such as the identification of relevant values and their connection to a technology’s features, are brought into biorefinery design practice. Midstream modulation (MM), an approach to promoting the consideration of societal aspects during research and development activities, is applied to promote reflection and value considerations during the design decision making. As result, it is shown that MM interventions during the design process led to new design alternatives in support of stakeholders' values, and allowed to recognize and respond to emerging value tensions within the scope of the project. In this way, the present work shows a novel approach for the technical investigation of VSD, especially for biorefineries. Also, based on this work it is argued that not only reflection, but also flexibility and openness are important for the application of VSD in the context of biorefinery design.

Secondary develop system can realize design automation of the common parts, so that software system can automatically inquire the chart and get data, then this could really release design personnel and improve the design efficiency. By secondary develop system of stirred tank users can respectively carry on the design according to their own needs. So secondary develop system has the function of automatic generation graphics, and can generate CAD drawings complying with the design requirement, so it reflected the intelligent performance of the design system. Secondary develop system is able to complete the automatic design of common parts, and can greatly improve the quality and efficiency of design, so it has very important use value. This design realizes the function of automatic graphics generation of transmission of stirred tank, and can generate structure design of common belt wheel.

Reverse engineering has gained importance over the past few years due to an intense competitive market aiding in the survivability of a company. This paper examines the reverse engineering process and what, how, and why it can assist in making a better design. Two well known reverse engineering methodologies are explored, the first by Otto and Wood and the second by Ingle. Each methodology is compared and contrasted according to the protocols and tools used. Among some of the reverse engineering tools detailed and illustrated are: Black box, Fishbone, Function Structure, Bill of Material, Exploded CAD models, Morphological Matrix, Subtract and Operate Procedure (SOP), House of Quality matrix, and FMEA. Even though both methodologies have highly valued tools, some of the areas in reverse engineering need additional robust tooling. This paper presents new and expanded tooling to augment the existing methods in hopes of furthering the understanding of the product, and process. Tools like Reverse Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (RFMEA), Connectivity graphs, and inter-relation matrix increase the design efficiency, quality, and the understanding of the reverse engineering process. These tools have been employed in two industry projects and one demonstrative purpose for a Design for Manufacture Class. In both of these scenarios, industry and academic, the users found that the augmented tools were useful in capturing and revealing information not previously realized.

In view of sofa product’s features such as demand of great types and inefficient design, the paper presents a method of parametric design on the simple sofa based on RhinoScript. With analysis of simple sofa’s modeling characteristics, the model of simple sofa could be presented by different parameters. Then models of different sizes and appearance styles could be created easily and quickly by inputting different parameters. This method improves the design efficiency and avoids industrial designers’ repeat work. The design process of a kind of simple sofa testified the method and a series of sofa proposals were easily generated.
