Design resources agglomeration methods based on design ability

To realize rational allocation and reuse of design resources in complicated product's design process, the agglomeration methods of different design resources were researched. Key points of resources organization and optimization were summarized with the demands of complicated product's design. Definition of resources agglomeration was described, and agglomeration rules were also proposed to regularize the resources agglomeration process. The design resource model and design ability model were established from the perspective of design ability attributes and design behaviors. From the standpoints of design behavior motility, modularization agglomeration method was put forward to organize the knowledge design resources, and virtual design unit agglomeration method was used to organize the substantive design resources. Two Agglomeration cases were introduced to explain the agglomeration process of above methods. The two proposed design resources agglomeration methods were integrated into prototype system of missile integration design platform, and application results of relative function modules demonstrated the validity of these two methods.
