“…Indeed, concerning the aerospace sector, only a limited number of works describing DFA methods and tools applicable at the conceptual level was observed. Among all, Domeshek et al (1994) developed a tool that, by collecting previous aircraft design, can be interrogated to provide useful information during the conceptual design phase. Other works moved the research angle from the product to the final assembly line (Butterfield et al 2007;Mas et al 2013Mas et al , 2016Gómez et al 2016).…”

This paper describes an engineering design methodology, called conceptual design for assembly (CDFA) in the context of aircraft development, to assess aircraft systems’ installation during conceptual phase, in relation to industrial performance objectives. The methodology is based on a given framework (hierarchical structure) which includes a set of attributes, collected in recognized domains that characterize the aircraft systems installation. The framework of the CDFA methodology enables to analyze product architectures at different levels of granularity, splitting the global analysis into sub-problems (problem discretization) with the aim to help architects and designers to identify product architecture weaknesses in terms of fit for assembly performances. The CDFA methodology was applied on a complex system (the nose-fuselage of a commercial aircraft) presenting a high number of criticalities both for the product and its assembly operations. Results identified the architectural components leading to the less efficient assembly operations and the rationales enabling to elaborate alternative architectures for an improved product industrial efficiency.

“…Many suggest that all artifacts, physical, conceptual, etc., can be simultaneously decomposed into physical and functional structures (Rasmussen, 1986;Neighbors, 1987;Domeshek, Herndon, Bennett & Kolodner, 1994). As such software can be viewed as both physical and functional decompositions.…”

“…We are currently building Archie-II (Domeshek and Kolodner, 1992), a case-based design aid for architects, that supports browsing a library of past design cases. We are building a design library browser because it is a tool that designers can really use (Domeshek and Kolodner, 1991), and because building such a tool forces us to focus our research efforts on a cluster of core CBR and design issues: the construction and management of large case bases; the development of an indexing vocabulary for design problems; the development of appropriate case materials; and development of interfaces for interactive design aids. In this paper we consider some implications of the last two of these issues.…”

We believe that case-based reasoning (CBR) will prove applicable to design, at least in part, as we have seen designers making extensive use of past cases. Construction of useful systems, however, requires the resolution of many open issues. In this paper we consider three issues in particular: (1) What sort of content should be captured in a design case? (2) How should the content of a complex case be segmented into chunks for use? (3) How should the resulting chunks be indexed for retrieval? These are among the issues we are seeking to address through construction of Archie-II, a case-based aid for conceptual design in architecture. In addition to our approaches to these issues, this paper also discusses our strategic choice to build a design aiding system as opposed to a system that generates designs on its own.' In practice, when the volume within some genre is sufficient, designers and even entire design firms develop specialties. Nowadays, there are plenty of architectural firms that have knocked out dozens of condominium complexes or suburban office parks. Yet it turns out that even in such firms, there is often a lack of corporate memory (C. Zimring, personal communication).
