An Enhanced Product Representation Model and Multi-Level Case Base for Rapid Product Development

Abstract:

An enhanced product representation model was introduced, and it was specified with the sets of property, the sets of the multiplicity of modules, and the sets of relationships among them. A multi-case base corresponding complex product decomposition was established. Cases were defined and edited on customization template, which improved efficiency of developing multi-case base. For an example, a design tool for diesel engine development based on multi-case base was developed, and diesel engine product development could be more rapidly.
