Description

Over 70% of final product costs are determined by initial product design. Hence, to depict a capable and reliable part design is important during the part conceptual design phase. Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), based on analogical reasoning, is a problem solving methodology. This paper proposes the CBR architecture applied to assembly part design for effectively managing previous design experience and evaluating assemblability and manufacturability of assembly part design. The results can provide a useful reference for novices to reuse and revise previous experience and experienced designers to impart their expertise through CBR methodology.
