A Port-based Approach to Configuration Design of Mechanical Products
Configuration design lies in the later stage of the conceptual design.It affects thedownstream of design process and decides product structure.Therefore,it is necessary to pursue anapproach to support such design stage activities.Port,as the location of intended interaction,plays animportant role in the configuration design,which abstractly represents the intended exchange ofsignals,energy or material in a convenient way.Ontology is an unambiguous and flexible semanticspecification corresponding entities,and it can effectively describe the function of port.In this paper,we firstly give port concept and port functional description,and their semantic synthesis is used todescribe port ontology.Second,we build an ontology repository which contains the assorted primitiveconcepts and primitive knowledge to map the component connections and interactions.Meanwhilewe provide a model of port-based multi-views which contains functional view,behavior view andconfiguration view,and gives the attributes and taxonomy of ports.Next,a port-based ontologylanguage (PBOL) is described to represent the process of port ontology refinement,and a port-basedFBS modeling framework is presented to describe system configuration.Finally,a revised tape case isgiven to show the application of the port-based ontology.
