New method for behavior driven product concept definition

Recent developments in lifecycle management of product information concentrate on abstraction in order to support multidisciplinary design. New generation of intelligent engineering systems brings representation for conceptual stage of product definition into product model. The Laboratory of Intelligent Engineering Systems (LIES) at the Óbuda University was founded among others for research in this direction in 2005. Recently, LIES proceeds research in behavior definition for function (F) and logical (L) levels of RFLP structure based professional product lifecycle management (PLM) model. In this scenario, behavior assisted F and L level product definition collects information from the requirements (R) level and drives generation of physical (P) level model elements. In this paper, a new method is introduced for the Systems Engineering (SE), System of Systems Engineering (SoSE), and intelligent computing supported definition of elements in the new requirement, behavior, context, and drive (RBCD) structure. The RBCD structure is a recent result at the LIES and it is devoted as a contribution to RFLP structure element generation methodology.
