Abstract

The chapter “Knowledge-Based Design”, covers the use of template models, integrated calculation and simulation procedures, and automated routines to support product design. Knowledge-based design enables the collection, storage and re-use of expert knowledge, as well as the subsequent integration of know-how into development processes. Using examples from component and assembly development, the chapter elaborates on the potential of enhanced parametric-associative design and knowledge-based engineering used in combination with simultaneously linked calculation procedures.
