Abstract
Abstract A knowledge-based Bumper Design System (BDS) has been developed which automatically generates optimized conceptual bumper beams which meet manufacturing and product performance requirement. The BDS has captured and refined the corporate design knowledge of the product design engineer, the CAD designer, the CAE analyst and manufacturer. The BDS enables the bumper design engineers to evaluate multiple design alternatives quickly and early in the design process. It also automates repetitive bumper analysis tasks. The purpose of the paper is to describe the BDS. A description of the Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) methodology used to create the BDS is given, as well as an overview of bumper designs and design requirements. An overview of the BDS software design, user interface, and a sample run are also presented.
