Knowledge-Based Design Automation (KBDA) For Pumps

13.03.2009

KBDA is a tool where modeling languages are used to describe requirements in functional terms and record rules of Design, Business, and Manufacturing to control the designs which are produced.

KBDA helps engineer dictate the design requirements, so that they can consider multiple design solutions. KBDA is developed using model description languages and notations which support optimization processes. Millions of design iterations are analyzed and simulated to find the best match to the design requirements stated by the engineer.

Designing through KBDA starts by specifying the pump at a high level of abstraction - the performance requirement - and designing top down to a well defined set of rules and analytical procedures.

What does KBDA mean?

Design automation, in simple words means the conversion or modification of the general utility into a specialized, tailor-made utility, which takes care of routine and repetitive operations making them simpler in an automated manner.

Advantages:

  • Reduction of design cycle times
  • improved quality of design products
  • Increased productivity of designers
  • Increased range of designs
  • Ability to consider costs within the design process
