Knowledge Based Engineering

(OP)
Is knowledge based engineering working in mechanical system designs?

RE: Knowledge Based Engineering

dooron,

I know that Knowledge-Based Engineering rules can be captured into designs in Pro/ENGINEER by PTC (www.ptc.com) through the use of the Behavioral Modeling Extension (BMX) module. This is a very sophisticated modeling and analysis tool.

PTC has partnerships with many software vendors claiming to provide "knowledge-based" solutions (www.ptc.com/search/default/r.jsp?l=mkt_partners_softwar...).

Other MCAD packages may offer the ability to apply simple rules calculations.

What is it you are trying to solve?

Best regards,

RE: Knowledge Based Engineering

Knowledge based engineering is also used widely in Unigraphics.  As to how well it's working, that depends on how the information is entered into the model.  Used correctly, it does save considerable time and effort.  Any related parts and drawing views are automatically updated.

Used incorrectly, it can add unnecessary complexity.  The key (as with so many things in life) is to PLAN AHEAD.
