Previous Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) systems have difficulty in effectively managing the whole design process which often makes the modeling of product fall into chaos. Processoriented knowledge-based CAD system is proposed in this paper to manage product design process. For realizing process-oriented knowledge-based CAD system, mathematical representations of process design are proposed; the algorithms of process planning using graph theory are studied. A detailed discussion about typical design is put forward including process-oriented knowledge based design methods and architecture. The implementation of Processoriented knowledge based design of reducer is studied as a case. Process-oriented knowledge-based CAD system is realized which makes the whole design process efficient and stable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
