Abstract
In this paper we describe our approach to support the re-design of mechanical engineering artefacts. We discuss the motivation for the Deklare (ESPRIT 6522) project. We then present the different stages of the development of a DEKLARE application and its usage. We describe the design models employed for modelling re-design: functional, physical and process design models. In these design models ‘features’ play a central role. We elaborate on how we link our design advisory system to CAD-modellers and discuss the pros and cons of the DEKLARE approach in the light of industrial test cases.
