Automation Framework

Cyberphysical system design automation utilizing knowledge based engineering techniques with globally networked knowledge bases can tremendously improve the design process for emerging systems. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive architectural framework to improve the design process for cyberphysical systems (CPS) and implement a case study with Axiomatic Design Solutions Inc. to develop next generation toolsets utilizing knowledge-based engineering (KBE) systems adapted to multiple domains in the field of CPS design automation. The Cyberphysical System Design Automation Framework (CPSDAF) will be based on advances in CPS design theory based on current research and knowledge collected from global sources automatically via Semantic Web Services. A case study utilizing STEM students is discussed.

Automotive Panel

A knowledge-based intelligent die design system for automotive panels is developed by UG software platform. This system can accomplish design intelligently and automatically through engineering rules in the knowledge base. The framework and implementation of the system are discussed. Finally, a case study of the panel die design of car trunk in the system is implemented, which illustrates working process, working principle, implement method and practicability of the system, and validates the advanced design conception proposed in this paper.

Selection Of

In the automotive industry the activities of documenting the design options and generating the necessary request for quotations, for Tier 1 system suppliers to be awarded contracts for design and development, is complex and time-consuming since these activities are predominately manual and paper-based. Thus, a knowledge-based tool is being developed to aid the selection of the design options for vehicle systems during competitive tendering. The tool is based on ontologies in order to provide a common and shared definition for the options available for a given vehicle system. An overview of this approach is provided and, as a ‘proof of concept’, a case study involving seating systems is presented. This paper shows, through the seating system case study, how the functionalities and features of a vehicle system can be selected and documented in order to streamline the business process of contracting out product development through the supply chain.

Abstract Designers often lack important information about achievable manufacturing tolerances. Moreover tolerances are not considered from the beginning of product development. This often leads to inaccurately specified parts. Furthermore the full potential of the manufacturing departements is not used. This contribution tackles those areas by presenting a knowledge-based engineering workbench for automated tolerance specification, which has also been implemented using a commercial CAD system. This tool allows the designer to assign part tolerances that take into account the achievable accuracies for a specific manufacturing process, while at the same time allowing for specific part properties. The novelty of the presented approach can be found in the knowledge-based support of the product developers in tolerance specification by employing an engineering workbench. Moreover preprocessing for variation simulation and analysis is supported. It is possible to automate parts of the tolerance specification process, using the presented approach.

This article focuses on the optimization of a design process, in the context of automotive subcontracting opportunity. This optimization is guided by the underlying manufacturing process and by the industrial knowledge. We first show that the actual design studies are biased by the final goal (a formal design) and do not take into account early industrial needs (a draft design to draw up an estimate). We then demonstrate how an automaker subcontractor optimizes the early design process thanks to industrial knowledge.

AbstractKnowledge-based engineering (KBE) systems allow an easy adaption of designed artefacts to new functional or design requirements and automating routine design tasks. In the following article the author wants to focus on the three main concepts of linking CAD and KBE and answer the research questions (1) in which way is integration, embedding and coupling of KBE to a standard CAD system like Autodesk Inventor available and (2) how can the single approaches be compared in terms of modelling effort, user competences and system performance.
