Design and Application of Knowledge Base Management System for Intelligent Outfitting Design

The urgent need for transformation and upgradation of China's shipbuilding industry can be met by intelligent design technology, enabling the implementation of innovative designs. Considering the multi-source, heterogeneous and multi-disciplinary characteristics of the design knowledge involved in these designs, this paper studies the key technology of intelligent outfitting design and knowledge base management system. By constructing the overall framework of intelligent outfitting design and knowledge base system, the Knowledge Based Engineering method is applied to the ship outfitting design for parameter calculation and intelligent selection of the equipment, as well as layout scheme recommendation and intelligent aided design. Designers can save significant design time by reusing the design knowledge and applying knowledge base management system for intelligent outfitting design.
