(IEEE, 2007-12-02) Mejía Gutiérrez, Ricardo; Fischer Estia, Xavier; Bennis, Fouad; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Diseño; Ricardo Mejia (rmejiag@eafit.edu.co); Ingeniería de Diseño - GRID
A methodology for distributed knowledge modeling will be presented in this article, in order to contribute to a better decision making during design problems analysis -- An optimal design process refers to setting up coherent numerical models and it requires a well structured problem definition -- However, a lack of downstream information in early stages of product development leads to a complicated elicitation task that became an issue due to nowadays distributed environments -- A Multi-Agent approach is proposed to support the distributed knowledge elicitation process -- A set of agents will guide members from the distributed design team, throughout the product life cycle, to extract relevant information and analyze it -- The interaction among agents will highlight potential incoherencies during the modeling process, in order to enable partners to avoid inconsistent information -- A coherent knowledge base is then constructed and ready to be used to create models to be analyzed by traditional inference engines such as optimization solvers,constraint satisfaction programming, etc

Assembly sequences definition through hierarchical subassembly approach
(DELFT UNIV TECHNOLOGY, FAC INDUST DESIGN ENG, 2010-01-01) Gómez, G.O.; Viganò, R.
Design processes are leading to the reduction of product development time and costs. This trend applies to the evaluation of function, architecture and high level information as far as possible at early stages of product design in order to allow the designer to compare radically different solutions rather than proceeding with fine tuning of a single option. Specifically, design of assembly processes requires information regarding neighborhood, interfaces and interactions between product components from product architecture definition stage, difficult to reach at early stages of design. Besides, assembly process concerns human interaction which is considered in a subjective way when it is analyzed as a design parameter, enterprise-specific conditions, and many suppositions derived from queries of skilled staff. So, an automated tool working with general abstract information available at early stages of design could be able to present more realistic behavior against methodologies with specific hypotheses and rules. In this work an automated method to find feasible assembly sequences without human intervention, in contrast with several solutions presented by different authors, is proposed. The developed method starts with the acquisition and evaluation of topological information of interaction between components of a discrete mechanical product at the early stages of concept and embodiment design [16], followed by the identification and hierarchical classification of independent minimum level subassemblies until the completion of the assembly procedure of the system obtaining at least one feasible assembly sequence. In this way an automated tool which yields a finite discrete number of feasible assembly sequences from all possible assembly solutions, is presented. © Organizing Committee of TMCE 2010 Symposium.
Collaborative tools for global design project management: Case study of an academic experience
(AMER SOC ENGINEERING EDUCATION, 2010-01-01) Esparragoza I.; Mejia R.; Rodriguez C.
The management of information and the capture of design ideas are very critical during the product development and product lifecycle management. They could be very challenging tasks when time, efficiency and quality are important and the concurrent design team is physically distributed in different locations. However, the existing technology for communication, the increase of tools over the Internet and the cloud computing model have made possible and accelerated the means of sharing information synchronous and asynchronously in a very effective way. This has facilitated the work of teams that in many cases are geographically dispersed around the world. Therefore, there is a need to start preparing the future engineers in the use of collaborative tools for global design project management not only to schedule and coordinate all the required tasks for the project but also to capture all the information, ideas and concepts generated during the design process which contains valuable data that supports design decisions. This paper presents the use of several tools for communication and project management used in academic collaborative global design projects. In these projects, students are required to work with international partners from different universities in coordinating activities and documenting the conceptual design for a given problem. The paper reports the experience using the tools and discusses opportunities and pitfalls in the use of them as they were identified by the authors. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2010.

INTEGRATION OF DFMA THROUGHOUT AN ACADEMIC PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS SUPPORTED BY A PLM STRATEGY
(DESIGN SOC, 2011-01-01) Osorio-Gomez, Gilberto; Ruiz-Arenas, Santiago
Quantitative Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) approaches are often applied during the last stages of the Product Design and Development Process (PDDP) as a unique activity, but it would be integrated more efficiently working from the first stages throughout the whole process according to the Concurrent Engineering philosophy. It is proposed a holistic PDDP where the activities and tools of DFMA Methodologies are integrated through its different stages in a single and distributed way, in order to obtain an integral implementation of DFMA in a ``Product Lifecycle Management -PLM'' strategy further along. This attempt is oriented to the implementation of a holistic PLM strategy in a standardized academic PDDP in the B.Eng. in Product Design Engineering at EAFIT University-Colombia. Besides, it is an initial proposal to integrate DFX methodologies in PLM, seeing that previous experiences have demonstrated that, at academic level, in projects where the application of all taught courses should be evident in the final designed products, students forget to apply considerations related to manufacturing and assembly issues.
General implications of HUD systems applied to automobile industries
(SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 2011-01-01) Betancur Ramirez, Jose Alejandro; Osorio Gomez, Gilberto
This article has the purpose to analyze, based on the current technology, the factors that have been implemented in HUD systems, with the purpose to establish which its functions are and which are the advantages and disadvantages of these systems, in order to compare their relevance at the moment the system is implemented in an automobile. To fulfill this objective an optical and perception analysis was proposed through an instrumental set up, with common characteristics to any automobile, making possible the implementation of a large amount of theoretical and practical considerations. Finally, some recommendations, considerations and conclusions were made, all focused in a proposal of the way that that these systems can be approached. © 2011 SPIE.
A multi-agent approach for engineering design knowledge modelling
(SPRINGER, 2011-01-01) Mejía-Gutiérrez, R.; Cálad-Álvarez, A.; Ruiz-Arenas, S.
Usually a product design process implies collaborative work between experts located in different geographical locations. This context makes the process of taking design decisions more difficult and slow. Nowadays, definition of variables and constraints is a key issue, that experts related with product design have to face throughout the product lifecycle. A Multi-Agent system is proposed for tutoring experts in a standardized manner for the definition of variables and constraints. This domain specific knowledge will be use to build "Constraint Satisfaction Problem" models to support early stages of product design, specifically embodiment design. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Using material exploration and model-making as an approach for the development of concepts in design project courses
(2012-01-01) Patiño Santa, L.F.
One of the most used methodologies for project development in engineering consists of starting with a market necessity, developing a concept, materializing it, and designing details in order to enter the productive phase. These stages go in hand with the selection of materials, which is done at the end of the design process phase. However, in some cases selecting the material at the beginning of the process can be a source of innovation in product development. This paper describes a methodology used in "Project II", a first-year Product Design Engineering (PDE) course at Universidad EAFIT in which students initially select and explore non-conventional materials for furniture and then, through scaled models, develop concepts, culminating in a final product. This exploration helps students approach materials intuitively, develop their own creativity and boost their learning process of the creation and development of new product concepts.
