Abstract

To speed up the pro duct design efficiency, product designers would like to utilize the previous design knowledge. This requires a systematic and structured way for design knowledge representation and reuse. A new method which is named knowledge component to make design knowledge reused conveniently is presented in this paper. Knowledge component is a virtual reuse model which has specific function. The internal structure and working principle of knowledge component are discussed; meanwhile the involved design knowledge was analyzed in detail. The design process of barrel chamber was taken as an example to illustrate the executing process of knowledge component. Testing result shows that this method is feasible in terms of increasing design efficiency and helps the designers reuse the existing knowledge rapidly.
