Abstract

Actual advancements of the design tools for industrial elements include the addition of knowledge based elements to the classic design tools. In this sense, we propose a general design model, which is represented using an extension of CommonKADS, as a framework for the development of design tools for different industrial objects. This model was used developing the latest version of DAMOCIA-Design, a knowledge based design tool of greenhouse structures. One key point of our design framework is using alternative knowledge blocks, which are selected dynamically using an ad-hoc mechanism, assembled using sets of selection criteria associated to the methods. Keywords: Knowledge-based CAD, CommonKADS, dynamic selection of methods, design modeling.
