Abstract

In the design of lattice domes, design engineers need expertise in areas such as configuration processing, nonlinear analysis, and optimization. These are extensive numerical, iterative, and time‐consuming processes that are prone to error without an integrated design tool. This article presents the application of a knowledge‐based system in solving lattice‐dome design problems. An operational prototype knowledge‐based system, LADOME, has been developed by employing the combined knowledge representation approach, which uses rules, procedural methods, and an object‐oriented blackboard concept. The system's objective is to assist engineers in lattice‐dome design by integrating all design tasks into a single computer‐aided environment with implementation of the knowledge‐based system approach. For system verification, results from design examples are presented.
