Product Development with Multiple-View Feature Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple-view feature modelling can support applications from various phases of product development, by providing an own view on a product for each of these applications. Each view contains a feature model of the product specific for the application. Current approaches to multiple-view feature modelling only deal with form features. Hence, only the later product developments phases, in which the geometry has been fully specified, are supported. In addition, they only deal with single parts, not with assemblies. A new approach to multiple-view feature modelling is presented here that overcomes these shortcomings. It supports conceptual design, assembly design, part detail design and part manufacturing planning, by providing a view for each of them. The views and the operations that can be applied on them, and the ways the views are kept consistent, are described.

Multiple-view feature modelling for integral product development
To allow a designer to focus on the information that is relevant for a particular product development phase, is an important aspect of integral product development. Unlike current modelling systems, multiple-view feature modelling can adequately support this, by providing an own view on a product for each phase. Each view contains a feature model of the product specific for the corresponding ph...
متن کاملSemantic and multiple-view feature modelling: towards more meaningful product modelling
Current feature modelling systems suffer from a number of shortcomings. One is that the meaning of features is often not adequately maintained during modelling, which implies that modelling is in essence only geometric modelling. Another is that it is not possible to support product models with multiple feature views for all product development phases. This paper discusses solutions for these s...
متن کاملEnhanced multiple-view feature modelling
Multiple-view feature modelling is used in concurrent engineering. A shortcoming of current implementations is that they can only support low-level geometry-based product development phases, because they use form feature models. In order to overcome this shortcoming, we will use enhanced feature models, which are built from features that are defined as an aspect of a product that has some funct...
متن کاملFeature-Oriented Development of Software Product Lines: Mapping Feature Models to the Architecture
Software product lines (PLs) present a solid approach in large scale reuse. Due to the PLs’ inherit complexity, many PL methods use the notion of ”features” to support requirements analysis and domain modelling (e.g. FODA, FORM, FeatuRSEB). Nevertheless, the link between features and architecture remains weak in all methodologies, with a large impact on the traceability of high-level concerns i...
متن کاملVisualising Inter-Model Relationships in Software Product Lines
Within Software Product Line (SPL) Engineering, Feature modelling is a prevalent mechanism for managing variability but is insufficient for describing it as a whole and for relating its different aspects. Other modelling techniques such as Decision modelling and Component modelling provide different views of the underlying SPL data. To facilitate certain approaches in product line engineering, ...
