The synthesis of supplementary features of injection molded parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the features' moldability and causal effects on the properties of the part, which are not available to designers through current CAD systems. RIBBER is a knowledge module which contains knowledge to permit non-experts as well as mold design experts to generate acceptable supplementary features of injection molded parts. A knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge module, RIBBER, for mold feature synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis to an existing geometric modeler in order to provide designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge-based CAD system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design and CIM with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.

It is well blown that the product development time in manufacturing industry is critical. A new methodology for a product design knowledge management is required to reduce design errors and to optimize a design process. In this paper, Process-Related design knowledge management and Document Template are introduced to provide a design process to prevent previous design errors and a solution for the desist errors. Also the Document Template is more convenient interface in integrating the design knowledge into a system.

Design Engineering Group, LG Production engineering Research Center has been developing The Integrated Design Environment enabling engineering design task with ease, speedy and accurate for several years targeting the design departments in LG Electronics. $ezDesign^{(R)}$ System is consisted by Engineering Database Management, Engineering Knowledge Management, 3D Design Application, Design Evaluation Method and Project Management. Engineering Database Management manage the design information effectively. Engineering Knowledge Management takes control of design knowledge from design engineering activity systematically. It is possible for the engineering designer to utilized 3D CAD easily by 3D Design Application. Design Evaluation Method can evaluate several design alternatives synthetically. In Project management System, Designer can simulate the project schedule and cost. In this report, We will introduce how design process can be innovated by way of $ezDesign^{(R)}$ System.

Advances in the technology of computational design are giving architects and engineers the opportunity to analyze buildings with complex geometries. This study explores the optimization and automation process using the parametric design method, and uses digital tools to achieve surface representation and panelization for curved shaped office buildings. In this paper, we propose parametric algorithms of dimensional and geometric constraints using the Knowledge-ware scripts embedded in Gehry Technologies' Digital Project. The knowledge-based design methods proposed in this study can be used to systemize the knowledge possessed by experts in the form of data. Such knowledge is required to promote collaboration between designers and engineers in the process of CAD/CAE/CAM. The aim of this study is to integrate the process into design, which establishes an integrated process. This integration enables two-way feedback between design and construction data by combining the methods used in designing, engineering, and construction.

In order to enhance the productivity of design and manufacture of injection molds, various computer-aided systems have been developed and introduced to mold manufacturers. The customized 3-D CAD systems for mold design is one of the most representative computer-aided system. However, these systems usually do not provide a convenient way to access and manage design knowledge implemented in them. To overcome this shortage, knowedge-based engineering systems have been developed, and now they are imbedded as modules of commercial CAD systems. In this paper, we introduced a 3-D design system for standard mold base based on Knowledge Fusion, a commercialized KBE system imbedded in Unigraphics. By introducing KBE system, design knowledge can be exposed to the users and modified by the end-users.

Although conventional computer programs use efficient and precise optimization algorithms, they can not emulate the problem solving capabilities of human experts. A design optimization process involves a number of tasks which require human expertise and experience. Traditional optimization systems have concentrated on numerical aspects of a design process and have not been successful in integrating the numerical parts with human expertise. On the other hand, most knowledge-based systems focus on symbolic reasoning and have been little concerned with the numerical processes. The objective of this paper is to develop a knowledge-based multiobjective optimum design system which has the capabilities of knowledge processing and numerical computation by integrating the multiobjective optimization method and the knowledge-based system. The knowledge-based system for symbolic processing is developed. Rules for knowledge representation and the inference mechanism of the system are written in LISP. The knowledge-based multiobjective optimum design system is finally developed by integrating the multiobjective optimization method and the knowledge-based system by applying shell programming technique. The system is applied to an optimum design model of a LNG carrier in the preliminary design stage. It is found that the system well simulate design variables and objective functions of the design model.

Existing CAD systems have configured geometry data and it is necessary to extend the configured geometry into a knowledge-based system. An intelligent CAD system emerged to provide such a knowledge-based system. However the intelligent CAD system has a limited product model to represent various knowledge models. This paper presents a model, called extended intelligent CAD model, which can extend the product model of the intelligent CAD system into further detailed knowledge model. The extended intelligent CAD model includes a whole design process knowledge and an efficiency of the model has been verified via a knowledge based wiper design system. The model can improve the functionality and efficiency of the existing CAD systems.

Three procedures are currently used for the design of deep beams, which are Empirical design method, Nonlinear analysis, and Truss models. The engineering logic and decisions inherent in these design procedures are dependent on the acquired knowledge and experience of the structural engineer. Knowledge-based system is useful to solve problems which require human experties. Therefore, this study presents an application of Knowledge-Based System for design of reinforced concrete deep beams with web openings.

The design of injection molded polymeric parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the moldability and causal effects on the properties of the part, which are not available to designers through current CAD systems. An interactive computer-based design system is developed in order to realize the concept of rational design for the productivity and quality of mold making. The knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge-base module for mold feature synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis in order to provide designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge for feature synthesis performance analysis and feature-based geometric modeling. A knowledge-based CAD system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.
