Abstract
Modeling the tool design process is a particularly difficult activity because several types of knowledge are involved: design, process planning and manufacturing. Therefore we present a model of the fixture designers’ knowledge. The design process is analyzed with the support of a knowledge modeling methodology. The modeling of the part and the fixture are explained. The implementation of the design process model is carried out using an expert system.
