RISAn Investigation Into the Decision Analysis of Design Process Decisions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although recent work in decision-based design (DBD) recognizes the need for an enterprise perspective in which the expected profit is the primary driver of utility, for the overwhelming majority ...
A Port Ontology for Conceptual Design of Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During conceptual design of systems, the emphasis is on generating the system architecture: the configuration of sub-systems and the interactions between them. Ports, as locations of intended ...
Using Support Vector Machines to Formalize the Valid Input Domain of Predictive Models in Systems Design Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Predictive modeling can be a valuable tool for systems designers, allowing them to capture and reuse knowledge from a set of observed data related to their system. An important challenge ...
Using Parameterized Pareto Sets to Model Design Concepts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The decisions designers make during conceptual design can have a large impact on the success of a project. Conceptual design decisions can be challenging because the imprecise nature of design ...
Dependency Modeling and Model Management in Mechatronic Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechatronic design is traditionally supported through domain-specific design activities throughout the product development process. The partitioning into domain-specific problems leads to a situation ...
Integrating Models and Simulations of Continuous Dynamics Into SysML
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we combine modeling constructs from systems modeling language (SysML) and Modelica to improve the support for model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The Object Management Group ...
Combining Mathematical Programming and SysML for Automated Component Sizing of Hydraulic Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present a framework for automated component sizing to extend a designer's ability to evaluate a particular configuration during the architecture exploration phase of a ...
Managing Design-Process Complexity: A Value-of-Information Based Approach for Scale and Decision Decoupling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design-processes for multiscale, multifunctional systems are inherently complex due to the interactions between scales, functional requirements, and the resulting design decisions. While complex ...
Modeling and Simulation Methods for Design of Engineering Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents an overview of the state-of-the art in modeling and simulation, and studies to which extent current simulation technologies can effectively support the design process. For ...
Extracting Articulation Models from CAD Models of Parts With Curved Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In an assembly, degrees of freedom are realized by creating mating features that permit relative motion between parts. In complex assemblies, interactions between individual degrees of freedom ...
