Knowledge Based Engineering

Abstract A knowledge-based Bumper Design System (BDS) has been developed which automatically generates optimized conceptual bumper beams which meet manufacturing and product performance requirement. The BDS has captured and refined the corporate design knowledge of the product design engineer, the CAD designer, the CAE analyst and manufacturer. The BDS enables the bumper design engineers to evaluate multiple design alternatives quickly and early in the design process. It also automates repetitive bumper analysis tasks. The purpose of the paper is to describe the BDS. A description of the Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) methodology used to create the BDS is given, as well as an overview of bumper designs and design requirements. An overview of the BDS software design, user interface, and a sample run are also presented.

Design Innovation

The transformation of China's design innovation industry has highlighted the importance of design research. The design research process in practice can be regarded as the process of knowledge production. The design 3.0 mode based on knowledge production MODE2 has been shown in the Chinese design innovation industry. On this cognition, this paper establishes a map with two dimensions of how knowledge integration occurs in practice based design research, which are the design knowledge transfer and contextual transformation of design knowledge. We use this map to carry out the analysis of design research cases. Through the analysis, we define four typical practice based design research models from the viewpoint of knowledge integration. This method and the proposed model can provide a theoretical basis and a path for better management design research projects.
