A knowledge modeling approach of innovation and rapid design for armored vehicle

Taking aim at existing problem in general design of armored vehicle, a knowledge modeling approach of innovation and rapid design was presented. In this presented approach, the design process based on knowledge for armored vehicle was first proposed, and then the armored vehicle design knowledge was classified into three types, i.e. innovation design knowledge, reuse design knowledge and typical design problem solving knowledge. Three kinds of the design knowledges were nodeled by ontology, case-based reasoning (CBR), function-structure mapping and template method. On the basis of the modeling approach, a platform of innovation and rapid design for armored vehicle was developed, and business process and integrated model between the designed platform and the information platform of enterprise were programmed. General and componential designs of a certain armored vehicle were performed by the platform.
