Intégration de méthodes sur un processus industriel de conception mécanique

Abstract

The work presented in this paper deals with the definition of a mechanical design process built from the integration of industrial methods used by mechanical designers. The paper is divided into four parts. We first position our work through a bibliographical analysis. The mechanical design process is considered and we describe its various forms of representation. Design methods are then approached under the point of view of their mode of classification. We discuss in the second part about the principles of determination of a specific mechanical design process. We show in particular that a fine decomposition of a process can lead to a natural positioning of the methods towards certain elementary phases. We highlight the existence of methods directly related to the mechanical design process and other methods indirectly associated with it by the means of methodological supports they communicate with. Within the framework of the third part, we study the way the design process call direct methods. In the last part an application is made on the basis of a group of design methods classically used in industrial fields.
