Abstract
We describe a method of analogical reasoning for the task of constructing a Structure Behavior Function (SBF) model of a physical system from its drawing. A DSSBF (Drawing Shape Structure Behavior Function) model relates the SBF model of a system to its drawing. A DSSBF model of a target drawing is constructed by analogy to the DSSBF model of a very similar drawing. In this paper, we focus on the tasks of analogical mapping between target and source drawings and transfer of the DSSBF model of the source drawing to the target drawing. Archytas is a computer program that implements this analogical method for model construction in the domain of simple kinematics devices.
