A Knowledge-Based Approach of Automation Design of Aircraft Standard Components

Abstract:

To solve the problem that knowledge of standard components cannot be quickly applied to design process of aircraft, a novel approach based on knowledge is proposed from the instantiated requirements of standard components. Knowledge-based model based on semantic of standard component is described, which is composed of parameters, rules, solid model and assembly information. The information model is expressed and stored based on XML. Knowledge-based model is provided to support the specifications determination, semantic modeling of solid model and batch assembly of standard components by loosely coupled manner. Design knowledge is seamlessly, quickly applied to the instantiated process of standard components. Effectiveness of the proposed model and method is verified by an aircraft design example of standard components. CLC number: TP391.7 Document code: A
