Knowledge-Based Manufacturability Evaluation System for Shipbuilding

Concurrent design requires that the following activities of manufacturing and assembly should be considered during the stage of product design. Ship manufacturability evaluation is one of the most important works in concurrent engineering researches. In this paper, the characteristic of shipbuilding is analyzed firstly, and the architecture of knowledge-based manufacturability evaluation system for ship product is presented, and the key technologies to realize the said system are researched.
