Research abstract
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR USE IN THE DESIGN OF AN EXAMPLE MECHANICAL PART IS PROPOSED. THE PACKAGE WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF LATER DEVELOPING A GENERAL SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR THE DESIGN OF MECHANICAL PARTS. THE PACKAGE DECOMPOSES THE DESIGN INTO SYSTEM AND COMPONENT LEVELS. AT EACH LEVEL AN EXPERT SYSTEM/FEATURE-BASED MODELING SOFTWARE PACKAGE ASSISTS WITH CONCEPTUAL DESIGN, WHILE QUANTITATIVE DESIGN IS TREATED WITH STATEOF-THE-ART OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE.
