Description
Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) has been successfully applied to many fields especially in the design domain. Poor assembly part design increases the cost, raises the manufacturing complexity and reduces the product quality. However, little research has been devoted to predict the potential design problems in the early design stage. The objective of this paper is to integrate the indexes of assemblability and manufacturability into adaptive phase in CBR to avoid inexperienced mistakes. Early experimental results indicate that quantitative feedback of these indexes can guide novices to depict a good assembly part design, let experienced designers confirm their experience judgments and finally impart the experience to novices through CBR methodology.
