Abstract: This paper presents an uncertainty propagation analysis method using the Convex Model Theory (CM) for turbine cooling blade multidisciplinary design. Convex Model is used to describe the design variables’ uncertainty, and it’s propagation equation is derived. Monte-Carlo(MC) method and Convex Model Theory (CM) are all employed to calculate target variable’s variation. Result shows that CM method is more time-saving than MC method. First order second moment method is employed to calculate the reliability of target variable’s variation to evaluate the difference of the results of the two methods. As the actual probability density function of design variables is unknown, so reliability analysis considers different probability density functions. Response surface method is used to construct the approximation of the multidisciplinary analysis. Reliability analysis result shows that CM method keeps the same accuracy with MC method.

Abstract: Based on the analysis of product model characteristics of multidisciplinary collaborative design (MCD), multiple views model expressed by an extended object-oriented method is introduced to satisfy the requirements of different discipline designers for product information interaction and share. A product modeling system for multidisciplinary collaborative design is proposed, and the modeling method of discipline view model under the network environment is given, which can effectively support the evolution of product model and improve the flexibility of product modeling. The clutch is illustrated to validate the proposed methods.

Abstract: A new product modeling method for product multidisciplinary collaborative design (MCD) is put forward. The method uses a flexible product model which can be extended transversely and lengthwise by multiple levels’ inheritance and new attribute classes’ addition and a class inheritance mechanism under network environment which allows each discipline to build own view model of a product. An open and flexible system architecture supporting the product MCD effectively is put forward, and prototype system implementation is introduced.
