A Knowledge Engineering Method for New Product Development

International audienceEngineering activities involve large groups of people from different domains and disciplines. They often generate important information flows that are difficult to manage. To face these difficulties, a knowledge engineering process is necessary to structure the information and its use. This paper presents a deployment of a knowledge capitalization process based on the enrichment of MOKA methodology to support the integration of Process Planning knowledge in a CAD System. Our goal is to help different actors to work collaboratively by proposing one referential view of the domain, the context and the objectives assuming that it will help them in better decision-making

Processing Knowledge to Support Knowledge Based Engineering Systems Specification

International audienceDuring design phase, engineering activities typically involve large groups of people from different domains and disciplines. These differences often generate important information flows that are difficult to manage. To face these difficulties, a knowledge engineering process is necessary to structure the information and its use This article, presents a deployment of a knowledge capitalization process based on the enrichment of Methodology and tools Oriented to Knowledge based engineering Applications methodology to support the integration of Process Planning knowledge in a CAD System. Our goal is to help different actors to work collaboratively by proposing one referential view of the domain, the context and the objectives assuming that it will help them in better decision-making

Impact of New 3D Numerical Devices and Environments on Redesign and Valorisation of Mechanical Systems

International audienceThe new generation of 3D digitalisation provides us with additional possibilities for obtaining more complete information regarding physical environments faster (a shop or part of a factory, a mechanical system, etc...). Based on a general overview of a given environment, it is possible to extract some repository data from this basic information to structure the numerical model. Next some complementary scans can be taken, depending on the level of detail and the final valorisation objective for the numerical model. This approach can be applied to the redesigning or the reconstitution of an old mechanism and its simulation in virtual reality
