Virtual prototyping lacks of application in SME due to the costs of software systems and the necessity ofskilled operators. The aim is to improve dripper emitters design process reducing costs. A knowledge baseis presented to gather data on products behaviour in terms of experimental data and simulation results for aset of meaningful test cases. Input design parameters were linked to performance indices on the base of thecorrelations emerged in the analysis. Specifications for a new product can be used to extract similar casesand to define a possible solution in terms of a combination of them.
