Implémentation de kbe etude de cas en conception mécanique

Abstract

Knowledge based systems are more and more used in design and manufacturing by companies. The needs to quickly develop this kind of systems require relevant method and efficient software for their implementation, use and maintenance. That led CAD/CAM/CAE software vendors and especially Dassault Systèmes to enhance the knowledge integration capabilities in their products. In CATIA V5, those possibilities are offered by the workbench KnowledgeWare and the use of Visual Basic. In our study, we have developed a KBE application using those customisation capabilities. A mechanical part has previouly been designed. This part is fully constrained using mathematics formulas and knowledge rules implemented in KnowledgeWare. This approach allows a quick development of KBE in order to support the decision-making and the selection of the best solution and also reduce the design time of mechanical sub-assembly.
