基于Multi-Agent技术的机械产品协同设计原理与应用

Principle and Application of Mechanical Product Cooperation Design Based on Multi-Agent

针对机械产品分布式异构环境下的协同设计的特点 ,提出应用Multi Agent原理在机械产品异地协同设计过程中的协同设计单元构造、异构设计环境集成的方法 .在机械产品开发过程中 ,使处于不同层次、不同阶段、分布在不同地点的设计活动实现及时协调和实时信息交互 ,最终达到缩短产品开发时间、提高产品设计质量的目的 .在水泵网络协同设计系统中 ,实现了水泵不同部件之间设计信息和设计资源的共享 .

Aimed at the feature of mechanical product distributed and heterogeneous cooperation design methods of building of cooperation design cell and integration of heterogeneous design environment are presented by using Multi-Agent technology. Mechanical product design activity is realized in timely cooperation of different levels, stages and locations and real time exchange of information in process of mechanical product design is also accomplished to shorten the period of developing products and improving quality of product design. As an example of application, the water pump net cooperation design system has realized the sharing of both design information and resource of various pump parts.
