Scheme configuration design for micro-assembly system based on product family and performance. (4th July 2018) - Li, Yumei
ABSTRACT: In order to respond quickly to customer demand in micro-assembly system design, a configuration design method is proposed based on product family and performance simulation. In presented method, product scheme is generated rapidly by configuration reasoning based on product family model, which integrated with multi-domain knowledge. The product performance prediction is achieved based on simulation model that is established automatically with Modelica language. The multi-domain knowledge, which is expressed by feature parameters and constraints, is fused into the product family model, and the process of configuration reasoning and performance simulation are presented. The realization of configuration design guarantees flexibility of structure design and production of micro-assembly system. Finally, the feasibility of the method is verified on a developed mechanical arm of micro-assembly system.
