KNOWLEDGE BASED ENGINEERING |

|
Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) encompasses the entire design process. This approach covers the following aspects:
- Creation of Rule bases that conform to International Standards
- Design Handbooks
- Thumb Rules
- Old Project Data
- Design Validation
- Design Optimization
- Automatic Drawing Generation
- Automatic BOM Generation
- Automatic Report Generation
- Automatic Creation of Animations
- Automated Machining Process Planning
The development of KBE tools requires significantly larger times and efforts. The critical activities of the KBE process are as follows:
- Study of Requirements (to capture the customer needs)
- Feasibility Study (to understand the technical and economic feasibility)
- Design Document Preparation ( to cover all the agreed upon features)
Once the above preparations are completed, the KBE software can be developed more effectively and economically. A pictorial representation of a typical KBE process is depicted below:
