“…A number of case studies have shown the major potential of KBE and DA in reducing design effort, as further discussed in Verhagen et al [6]. Examples include the design and analysis of automotive structures [7], aircraft component design [8] and manufacturing process design [9]. For some cases, recurring savings on process time amount to as much as 99%.…”

“…Although research still lacks a common metric for measuring the impact of KBE systems (La Rocca, 2012), some real-world applications in various domains have shown important achievements. Van Der Laan and Van Tooren (2005) showed an 80% saving in time to design the structure of the aircraft's movable parts; Kulon, Mynors, and Broomhead (2006) reduced the time for designing the manufacturing process of hot forging from weeks to hours; Chapman and Pinfold (2001) developed a tool for building the FEM mesh of a car body-in-white in few minutes, thus moving upstream, along the design process, a task which is usually considered in the post-design stage.…”

Knowledge-Based Engineering in the design for manufacture of prefabricated façades: current gaps and future trends, Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 14:1-2, 78-94, ABSTRACTThe use of prefabricated façades provides a timely means to increase efficiency in the delivery of buildings, while maximising the expected environmental service performance. In order to achieve high performance and low cost, these products require manufacturability and supply chain knowledge to be integrated earlier than usual in the design process. Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) applications can potentially fulfil this need by providing a digital Product Model that informs designers about manufacturability aspects and expected performance. This paper explores the currently available digital tools, as well as KBE and its applicability in façade design. It is first demonstrated that there is a fundamental gap in state-of-the-art digital tools: rather than integrating design principles and manufacturing constraints, existing and emerging tools continue to focus on single disciplines with no consideration for the actual manufacturing stage. The applicability of KBE is then evaluated by reviewing the current use of this approach in the building and other industries, namely, aerospace and shipbuilding. It is found that, although KBE is rarely used in façade design, there are significant opportunities for it to be applied in this sector, due to the similarity in terms of design tasks and priorities with the two other industries reviewed in this paper.

“…Moreover, this knowledge must support decision-making and can sometimes even partially automate decisionmaking. If implemented otherwise, knowledge remains in a separate application which can be subsequently be typified as black-box (Kulon et al 2006, Choi et al 2007). Users will not optimally (if at all) acquire and use this knowledge in their daily practice; the visibility of knowledge will be too low.…”

The progressive industrialisation of composite-built aircraft is putting manufacturing engineers on a steep learning curve. An opportunity exists to use knowledge management tools to capture, share and reuse knowledge over multiple aircraft programs and maintain the constant flow of learning gained during aircraft program delivery. This article reports on research to develop a knowledge-based cost modelling capability for composite part concept evaluation. The approach integrates a knowledge management environment with a process-based cost estimation tool encoded in very large spreadsheets. To achieve this, the complexity of the cost model is managed by modularising it into simple, re-useable components. The knowledge management environment is then used to manage the knowledge life cycle, knowledge exploitation and knowledge visibility of those components. The result is a flexible cost modelling tool composed of traceable, verifiable and reliable knowledge elements that provides through-life knowledge support for cost engineering. Validation is achieved through functional application of the solution for composite wing top cover cost modelling.
