According to the characters of mechanical product design, product design knowledge is classified into explicit knowledge and indefinite knowledge. A knowledge-driven product design system model was proposed based on the knowledge management. To meet the normal product design process, the design system structure was built on four layers. A mixed knowledge reasoning strategy was proposed, which is combined by design cases, models, and rules. The system provides a public integration interface, so different design tools such as UG NX, Catia and Pro-E can be applied. To resolve the design conflict in product design process, a collaborative design technique was put forward that the CAD, CAPP, CAM engineers worked togeth

The emergence of computer and network technology has provided opportunities for researchers to construct and build systems to support dynamic, real-time, and collaborative engineering design in a concurrent manner. This paper provides an understanding of the product design in a distributed environment where designers are in different geographic locations and are required to be involved in the design process to ensure successful product design. A design process model that captures the major interactions among stakeholders is presented, based on the observation of cooperation and collaboration. The stakeholders’ interactions are divided into activity and system level to distinguish the interactions in group design activities and design perspective evolution. An initial computer implementation of the design model is presented. The design system consists of a set of tools associated with design and a management system to facilitate distributed designers to support various design activities, especially conceptual design. Our research emphasis of design collaboration in this paper is: (i) Model a Cooperative-collaborative design process; (ii) Support synchronized design activities; and (iii) Structure the complex relations of various design perspectives from engineering disciplines.

Today, product design process is facing a market globalisation led by distributed teams. The international market context, in which industrial companies evolve, leads design teams to work in a large multidisciplinary collaborative context using collaborative practices. In this context, product design process is driven by the integration and optimisation of stakeholders’ collaboration. Thus, to facilitate collaborative steps, new management strategies are defined and new information systems can be used. To this end, we have focused our article on the topic of collaborative product design project management. We have underlined the necessity to use quantitative and non-intrusive indicators during the management of collaborative design phases besides subjective evaluations. Tracking these indicators is performed in parallel to the existing approaches in order to evaluate the performance of collaborative design project. Moreover, these indicators can show the impact of the collaboration steps on the design project evolution. The computation of proposed indicators is based on precise metrics which details the completeness of the computer-aided design model and its evolution depending on the used collaborative tools and the project milestones. This computation uses the importance of each computer-aided design model part and the transformation rate of each part of the computer-aided design model.

Purpose Because of the multiple design elements and complicated relationship among design elements of complex products design, it is tough for designers to systematically and dynamically express and manage the complex products design process. Design/methodology/approach To solve these problems, a supernetwork model of complex products design is constructed and analyzed in this paper. First, the design elements (customer demands, design agents, product structures, design tasks and design resources) are identified and analyzed, then the sub-network of design elements are built. Based on this, a supernetwork model of complex products design is constructed with the analysis of the relationship among sub-networks. Second, some typical and physical characteristics (robustness, vulnerability, degree and betweenness) of the supernetwork were calculated to analyze the performance of supernetwork and the features of complex product design process. Findings The design process of a wind turbine is studied as a case to illustrate the approach in this paper. The supernetwork can provide more information about collaborative design process of wind turbine than traditional models. Moreover, it can help managers and designers to manage the collaborative design process and improve collaborative design efficiency of wind turbine. Originality/value The authors find a new method (complex network or supernetwork) to describe and analyze complex mechanical product design.

A major problem in product design is that the design process is not clear to designers. Therefore, every time designers develop a new product, they face difficulties in determining the order in which the product attributes should be determined, especially in the case of large, complicated products. This problem mainly occurs due to two reasons. First, the knowledge about past product designs is not well arranged and thus there is no way to utilize it. Therefore, this research focuses on developing a design support system that proposes a design process in which the designer can easily reflect the important attributes of a product while facing less difficulties in completing the design; this is done using a topdown design support system. In a top-down design system, the designer expresses the product knowledge using elements such as entity, attribute, constraint, interface, etc. Further, five types of knowledge are expressed in this system. They are: knowledge about product structure, knowledge about product entity, knowledge about product function, knowledge about product constraint, and knowledge about product design process. Since this research focuses on the design process, extracting knowledge about the product design process is very important. To extract this knowledge, we first compare the template of past products and the product currently being designed. Next, we calculate the consistency of the two models. Then, based on the results of the consistency calculation, we select and extract the available knowledge. We create a new process by using this extracted knowledge from the design template. It is possible to produce more than one process by combining the knowledge from more than one template. Finally, we evaluate the process from three perspectives: whether it is easy to reflect the customer requirements, whether the design conflict difficulty is small, and whether the design loop difficulty is small. Based on the evaluation result, the designers can select a process to design a new product. In this research, the ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) system is used as an example. Further, a process that can easily design the important attributes with a smaller possibility of breakdown than the existing process is chosen based on the results of applying a model proposed by this research. A well-organized design process has been achieved in the OTEC example. Future works must focus on improving the evaluation of the design process and the method for expressing the design knowledge as a template.

AbstractA design problem with deficient information is generally described as wicked or ill-defined. The information insufficiency leaves designers with loose settings, free environments, and a lack of strict boundaries, which provides them with more opportunities to facilitate innovation. Therefore, to capture the opportunity behind the uncertainty of a design problem, this study models an innovative design as a composite solving process, where the problem is clarified and resolved from fuzziness to satisfying solutions by interplay among design problems, knowledge, and solutions. Additionally, a triple-helix structured model for the innovative product design process is proposed based on the co-evolution of the problem, solution, and knowledge spaces, to provide designers with a distinct design strategy and method for innovative design. The three spaces interact and co-evolve through iterative mappings, including problem structuring, knowledge expansion, and solution generation. The mappings carry the information processing and decision-making activities of the design, and create the path to satisfying solutions. Finally, a case study of a reactor coolant flow distribution device is presented to demonstrate the practicability of this model and the method for innovative product design.
