Product Data Sheet Ontology

December 18, 2014
Author(s)
Binyam G. Abeye, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno
Data exchange transactions for the engineering, procurement, and operation of process equipment depend heavily on product data sheets. Product data sheets are traditional paper forms that serve as the main method of communicating detailed equipment

A Survey of Standards for Product Lifecycle Management of Structural Composites

August 7, 2013
Author(s)
Christopher U. Brown, Joshua Lubell, Robert R. Lipman, Gaurav Ameta
Composites are needed when designing components with a high strength (along a particular direction) to weight ratio. Composites are widely used in the automotive, sports and aerospace industries. Designing a composite component requires highly concurrent

Toward an Integrated Decision Support Framework for Sustainability CAE

April 22, 2013
Author(s)
Lalit Patil, Lakshmi Srinivas, Krishna Murthy, Debasish Dutta, Sudarsan Rachuri
Sustainability evaluation is typically conducted after the product is completely designed. However, sustainability, like cost and weight, needs to be managed on a continuous basis, throughout the product development cycle. This requires a decision support

A Semantic Product Modeling Framework and Its Application for Behavior Evaluation

January 9, 2012
Author(s)
Jae H. Lee, Steven J. Fenves, Conrad E. Bock, Sudarsan Rachuri, Hyo-Won Suh, Xenia Fiorentini, Ram D. Sriram
Supporting different stakeholder viewpoints across the product’s entire lifecycle requires semantic richness to represent product related information and thus enable multi-view engineering simulations. This paper proposes a multi-level product modeling

Future SC4 Architecture PWI - Report and Technical Discussion

October 1, 2010
Author(s)
Allison Barnard Feeney
This document is the report of the Future SC4 architecture PWI. It provides information about the draft “Industrial Data Integrated Ontologies and Models (IDIOM) architecture specification” created by the PWI. The work of the Preliminary Work Item (PWI)

Ontological Product Modeling for Collaborative Design

July 22, 2010
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, XuanFang Zha, Hyo-won Suh, Jae H. Lee
This paper shows how to combine ontological and model-based techniques in languages that facilitate collaborative design exploration. The proposed approach uses ontology to capture alternative designs and incremental refinements that meet requirements and

A Semantic Product Modeling Framework and Language for Behavior Evaluation

April 8, 2010
Author(s)
Jae H. Lee, Hyo Won Suh, Steven J. Fenves, Sudarsan Rachuri, Xenia Fiorentini, Ram D. Sriram, Conrad E. Bock
Supporting different stakeholder viewpoints across the product's entire lifecycle requires semantic richness for representing product related information. This paper proposes a multi-layered product modeling framework that enables stakeholders to define

Ontological Product Modeling for Collaborative Design

October 30, 2009
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, XuanFang Zha, Hyo W. Suh, Jae H. Lee
This paper presents a product modeling language for collaborative design that has the benefits of ontology and expanded capabilities in conventional product modeling. The proposed approach uses ontology to increase flexibility and accuracy in combining

Information Management Gaps for Board Fabrication and Assembly

September 1, 2009
Author(s)
Eric D. Simmon, Jeff Pettinato
There are a number of driving forces that are impacting the information management needs of the board fabrication and assembly segments. The electronics industry is expanding beyond traditional industry boundaries at the same time it is shifting to a

August 19, 2009
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer, John A. Horst
This is a system builders manual for the NIST DMIS Test Suite, version 2.1.5. The purpose of the manual is to help system builders use software provided in the test suite for building systems that implement DMIS (the Dimensional Measuring Interface

Users Manual for Version 2.1.5 of the NIST DMIS Test Suite (for DMIS 5.1)

August 19, 2009
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer, John A. Horst
The NIST DMIS Test Suite, version 2.1.5, is described. The test suite is intended to serve two purposes, 1) to help users and vendors use version 5.1 of DMIS (the Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard) and 2) to provide utilities and test files for

Expanding Environmental Information Management: Meeting Future Requirements

April 25, 2009
Author(s)
John V. Messina, Eric D. Simmon
The environmental impact of product manufacturing, use, and disposal has become a worldwide concern. Laws and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment are being established throughout the global community. In addition to regulatory

Descriptive Metadata Requirements for Long-term Archival of Digital Product Models

February 25, 2009
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell, Ben Kassel, Sudarsan Rachuri
Digital product engineering information comes from a variety of applications ranging from computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing software to product data and lifecycle management systems. As the volume of digital engineering data increases
