Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present machining features, their interest and their use in the creation of a process planning system. We show how the analysis of all the parameters of the feature can automatically define the operation sequences of machining features using production rules. The methods developed in this article have been implemented as an expert system named OMEGA.
