Automation in the Virtual Testing of Mechanical Systems e-bog

Automation in the Virtual Testing of Mechanical Systems: Theories and Implementation Techniques provides a practical understanding of Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE), an approach that is driving automation in engineering. Companies are using the technology to automate engineering tasks, achieving gains in output, and saving time. This book will be the main source of information available for implementing KBE systems, integrating KBE with the finite element methods, and showing how KBE is used to automate engineering and analysis of mechanical systems. The process of combining KBE with optimization techniques is explored, and the use of software tools is presented in some detail. FeaturesIntroduces automation with Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) in generic mechanical designDevelops a framework for generic mechanism modeling including a library formatExplores a KBE environment for generic design automationIncludes design cases in KBEGives a presentation of the interwoven technologies used in modern design environments
