Abstract
Die design is experience-extensive in the field of plasticity engineering, in which knowledge and experience play a very important role in supporting the design process. In order to make good use of the accumulated engineering knowledge, the methodology of knowledge-based hammer forging design support is elaborated in detail, including: engineering knowledge representation, knowledge acquisition and knowledge-based design support techniques. Based on these, a knowledge-based hammer forging design support system is developed using the API of SolidWorks. This prototype system is a design guide system, which provides the right knowledge to support the designer, make decision/selection and design the die step by step. This way, the computerized public and private knowledge can be greatly shared and reused, which improves the design efficiency, and avoids previous mistakes effectively. Finally, a case study is shown to elaborate how the system is operated.
