Due to the growing number of requirements and the introduction of new technologies, current trends indicate that more disciplines have been involved into the system design. The design of such multidisciplinary systems, especially during the detailed design phase, requires designers and expertise from different disciplines. Therefore, the research question about how to achieve an integrated design for multidisciplinary systems has attracted the attention from both academia and industry. In order to achieve such integrated design for multidisciplinary systems, more and more researchers focus on the interface of multidisciplinary systems because the interface plays a quite significant role to guarantee the components defined by the designers of different disciplines integrate correctly and to eventually help them to achieve the integrated design. This article presents an interface knowledge base to manage the design data and rules related to the interfaces. A knowledge-based engineering approach is then proposed. By applying the knowledge-based engineering approach, a synergistic integration of the discipline-specific components can be realised; however, the unnecessary iterations can be avoided so that a concurrent design process during the detailed design phase can be achieved. This knowledge-based engineering approach is demonstrated by the case studies based on a partial discharge detection system and a belt conveyor system.

With the increase of the customer demands for the products, multidisciplinary products are gradually becoming more competitive than the traditional products. Considering conceptual design synthesis is the core phase of the product design and its result is the starting point of the next detail design works, if the rich resources in multiple disciplinary domains can be fully used during this phase, the efficiency of multidisciplinary product design will be largely promoted. Therefore, we proposed a novel conceptual design synthesis system for multidisciplinary products, which consists of three parts, i.e. basic framework, complex-number-domain-based mathematical model, and achieving approach. In the framework, three groups of concepts were defined and the conceptual design synthesis was concluded into three steps. The model can completely describe and modularize the function units which are the basic components of a design scheme. Based on the model, the achieving approach can automatically generate stable objective function unit chains which can directly construct the design scheme. Finally, the design of a multifunctional agricultural hydroelectric power system was taken as an illustration to prove the practicability of this proposed system.

“…Subsequently, the designer can modify the CAD model, especially when it comes to the multidisciplinary fields such as dynamics, aerodynamics, structure, and thermodynamics. e modification requirements of the model are more frequent and complicated [6]. erefore, multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) approach is used to solve problems concerning multiple disciplines or subsystems [7].…”

Product modeling has been applied in product engineering with success for geometric representation. With the application of multidisciplinary analysis, application-driven models need specific knowledge and time-consuming adjustment work based on the geometric model. This paper proposes a novel modeling technology named computer-aided design-supporting-simulation (CADSS) to generate multiphysics domain models to support multidisciplinary design optimization processes. Multiphysics model representation was analyzed to verify gaps among different domain models’ parameters. Therefore, multiphysics domain model architecture was integrated by optimization model, design model, and simulation model in consideration of domain model’s parameters. Besides, CADSS uses requirement space, domain knowledge, and software technology to describe the multidisciplinary model’s parameters and its transition. Depending on the domain requirements, the CADSS system extracts the required knowledge by decomposing product functions and then embeds the domain knowledge into functional features using software technology. This research aims to effectively complete the design cycle and improve the design quality by providing a consistent and concurrent modeling environment to generate an adaptable model for multiphysics simulation. This system is demonstrated by modeling turbine blade design with multiphysics simulations including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), conjugate heat transfer (CHT), and finite element analysis (FEA). Moreover, the blade multiphysics simulation model is validated by the optimization design of the film hole. The results show that the high-fidelity multiphysics simulation model generated through CADSS can be adapted to subsequent simulations.
