“…Bronsvoort and Jansen (1993) propose multiple-way feature conversion as the ideal approach to mUltiple feature views. Later on, de Kraker et al (1995, Bronsvoort et al (1997), Dohmen (1998) and describe its implementation in a prototype multiple-view feature modelling system. They use a geometric-reasoning-based feature recognition algorithm that derives the feature model of a new view from a non-manifold intermediate cellular representation (Bidarra et al 1998), and a special kind of coplanar constraints, called link constraints (Dohmen et al 1996), to propagate changes made in the feature model of one view to the feature models of the other views.…”

“…Automatic feature recognition is used to make the feature model of a part in a detail design view that is inconsistent with its associated component in the assembly design view consistent again (de Kraker et al 1995). Feature linking is used to keep the feature models of the parts in the detail design views consistent with the associated components in the assembly design view during simple adjustment of the feature model of either.…”

Abstract:Multiple-view feature modelling can support applications from various phases of product development, by providing an own view on a product for each of these applications. Each view contains a feature model of the product specific for the application. Current approaches to mUltiple-view feature modelling only deal with form features. Hence, only the later product developments phases, in which the geometry has to be fully specified, are supported. In addition, they only deal with single parts, not with assemblies. A new approach to multiple-view feature modelling is presented here that overcomes these shortcomings. It supports conceptual design, assembly design, part detail design and part manufacturing planning, by providing a view for each of them. The views and the operations that can be applied on them, and the ways the views are kept consistent, are described.

“…With the design process shifting from sequential to concurrent, the simultaneous availability of the two approaches has been required to make available the different context dependent representations to the involved experts. Thus, some activities have been focused on integrating the two approaches (Sreevalson 1990, De Martino 1994, De Kraker 1995.…”

Abstract:Increasing competition requires more and more effort in delivering new products with better prices, good quality and environment savings. In this scenario, since most of the cost and product characteristics are dependent on commitments taken at the early design stages, designers require tools supporting them at considering the consequences of their decisions on the whole product life-cycle, starting from the conceptual design stage to the disposal phase. The adoption of such tools may enforce the exploration of different alternatives thus increasing the possibility of identifying the most convenient and innovative solution. Form features have been recognized as shape-oriented elements for associating geometry with engineering meaning, thus helping in reasoning on products in functional terms. However as argued in this paper, information on shape alone is insufficient for meaningful evaluation and forecast of life-cycle product consequences. The paper presents an approach for considering 'life-cycle consequences' during the design decision process, by taking into account both artefact features and the characteristics of the involved life-cycle systems.

“…In multi-way architectures, modi cations required by an application are introduced in the view in which the need for them arises, and all modi cations in any view should be propagated automatically to all other views, 4,10,16]. Work based on this assumption may neglect to explain precisely how a f e ature view, other than the design view, can change the net shape of the design, and there is a paucity of techniques to formalize such c hanges.…”
