Abstract
This paper presents IDS, a knowledge based system to support experts in the design and manufacturing of complex mechanical objects. Although many sophisticated integrated environments have been developed and are currently adopted by enterprises in the design of mechanical parts and components, they can be extended to further support design activities. Artificial Intelligence techniques are particularly suitable to provide such tools with knowledge based facilities derived from skilled designer’s expertise. IDS (Intelligent Design System) is a set of integrated AIbased facilities interacting the CATIA CAD software environment to support the design of dies for car body manufacturing.
