Development of Engineering Services to Support Wingbox Feasilisation within a Multi-Agent Task Environment

摘要

The MDO process of products can be supportedrnby automation of analysis and optimisationrnsteps. A Design and Engineering Engine (DEE)rnis a useful concept to structure this automation.rnTo power the automatic analysis an agent basedrnframework has been developed to supportrnhuman and agent teams. The agent-basedrnframework seeks to integrate the human andrncomputer engineer into a hybrid design andrnbuilt team, providing engineering services to thernproduct design team. In this perspective fourrnlevels of scoping are identified; organisationalrnscoping level, framework or integration level,rntool or engineering service level and datarnscoping level. These four scoping levels are arngood frame of reference to link the identifiedrnactors, the four main established functions of arnframework and the recent contributions inrnengineering framework development. In orderrnto demonstrate the application of the describedrnmethodologies, the design of a 6 persons highrnspeed aircraft wingbox has been used as anrnexample. The results of the feasilisation processrnare validated using FEM analysis and two waysrnof representing the results data are described.
