Abstract
The SEBPC CARD project aims to develop an agent-based system approach to roll-pass design. Current processes of roll-pass design are predominantly manual, with little or no support for constraint checking, design traceability, integration of numerous data-sources and automatic collection of data. They are highly reliant upon the skill and judgement of the roll-pass designers to produce good designs, based on previous experience and theoretical knowledge. According to Appleton and Summad [1]:
“[The] … roll pass design process involves the preparation of designs for different rolling passes necessary to obtain certain geometrical profiles. A rolling pass is actually that single action of passing the metal being rolled between the two roll cavities or grooves. Hence, two grooves working jointly in the rolling plane form a pass (Wusatowski [2]).”
