Paper abstract bibtex 2 downloads A comprehensive approach to product development involves evaluating all aspects of a product’s lifecycle, from the initial design phase to its end-of-life. Design for Excellence assessment software integrated into a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) environment helps to identify potential issues early, and ultimately avoid costly mistakes during the development of new products. However, this software is predominantly bound to strict rule-based reasoning, which does not account for subtle design constraints and provides no solutions to detected problems. The research project XDP-Opt addresses these problems by developing an Interactive Design Decision Support System. It utilizes a combination of federated foundation models and Case-Based Reasoning to discover problematic design features and suggest solutions for these based on historical CAD data. This paper gives a literature overview on the problem the project is concerned with and shows the core concept and the components of the AI core of the proposed support system.
