Product modeling for multidisciplinary collaborative design

Product modeling for multidisciplinary collaborative design The paper analyzes characteristics of multidisciplinary collaborative design (MCD) of product and proposes a new MCD-oriented product information model (MCDPM) that integrates physical structure, design semantic and collaboration management data. Better understanding and coordination among the different disciplines can be achieved through the multi-level relations at the semantic level, structure level, and management level. An extended object-oriented method is introduced to represent the MCDPM. As a component and its attributes are all defined recursively in class form, the model can be continually extended and has good modularity, flexibility, and evolution ability. The class inheritance methods in network environment, the concept of discipline view model (DVM) and the method generating the DVM are given. The coordination and consistency maintenance among multiple DVMs is discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology Springer Journals

Abstract

The paper analyzes characteristics of multidisciplinary collaborative design (MCD) of product and proposes a new MCD-oriented product information model (MCDPM) that integrates physical structure, design semantic and collaboration management data. Better understanding and coordination among the different disciplines can be achieved through the multi-level relations at the semantic level, structure level, and management level. An extended object-oriented method is introduced to represent the MCDPM. As a component and its attributes are all defined recursively in class form, the model can be continually extended and has good modularity, flexibility, and evolution ability. The class inheritance methods in network environment, the concept of discipline view model (DVM) and the method generating the DVM are given. The coordination and consistency maintenance among multiple DVMs is discussed.
