Applying Ontological Driven Method to Product and Die Design of Electrical Castings

This paper describes a design system with unified expression of the design knowledge based on the ontological driven method according to the characteristics of electrical casting products and dies. A detailed discussion about the knowledge modeling technology including the knowledge representation model of products and dies is put forward. Further explanation of the modeling strategy of the whole system is presented. A real design case is carried out to illustrate the effectiveness and practicality of the prototype.
