In order to reduce time to market and to master the costs, the design process of industrial companies is more and more structured. It enables collaborative design for experts integration and for improving the decision-making process. Decision making under uncertainties remains an important issue, especially at the beginning of this design process. The product performances are a common reference in collaborative design, and their management involves interactive design. In this paper, a functional analysis under uncertainties approach is proposed, as a means to improve interactive design. It enables to manage the risk of not fulfilling the required performances throughout the design process. This methodology makes it easy to link the data usually handled in engineering design (especially the technical requirements) with those handled for risk assessment (especially failure analysis). Using logical trees, the product functions and the associated chosen technologies are analyzed in terms of risk, taking account of the uncertainties that lead to risk and the potential failure that can arise.
Le calcul de structures mécaniques est un outil d'aideà la conception aujourd'hui largement utilisé. Quelle que soit la méthode de calcul de structures utilisée, l'adaptation du modèle de conception (géométrie, données technologiques, spécifications fonctionnelles) en un modèle de comportement spécifique au calcul de structures est uneétape nécessaire nommée idéalisation. Cetteétape particulièrement critique repose principalement sur l'expertise de l'analyste. Cet article propose une méthode d'aide aux choix d'idéalisation d'un modèle CAO en un modèle de comportement. La méthode proposée peut aider un analysteà effectuer ses choix d'idéalisation en respectant la qualité, le coût et les délais de simulation du système analysé. Elle est basée sur l'exploitation de résultats obtenus sur des calculs de référence, jugés similaires au calculà traiter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
