Different types of process involved in the information content product model

Representation of precise information is a challenging task in the information content of product model. Difficulty arises when huge number of analysis can be performed to an engineering object and there is possibility that same type of analysis operation can be performed repeatedly by different engineers as there is no specific methodology to distinguish and store the optimised information obtained from the analysis. Moreover, it is important to store the information obtained due to changes occurred in an engineering object in the context of other engineering objects. In this paper, author proposed the possible solution of above mentioned problems by introducing the process plane in the information content of Product model. Process plane defines different kind of process involved during the analysis, contextual, optimisation, decision and representation level of an engineering object. In this context, three kind of process are proposed namely Analysis process, Effect process and Optimisation process. Following this, Mathematical representation of every process and their relationship are accomplished. Finally, (requirements, functional, logical, and physical) RFLP structure is considered as an engineering object to explain the above mentioned concepts in the information content. This plane can provide all the necessary and important information related with an engineering object such that engineers can calculate and understand every aspect of the product in the virtual environment.
