“…The configuration design requirements can be met through the change of partial structure of existing configuration component in structure transformation reconstruction of configuration model, and the process can be divided into three parts: (1) determine the configuration components and structures requiring structure transformation according the configuration design requirements and analysis of configuration model; (2) search the structures of configuration components and extract relevant information;…”

“…Therefore, the product configuration modeling is a key technology to realize the configuration design, and many experts in and abroad have made a large number of researches. SOININEN, et al [1] , developed a concept of product configuration ontology, established a general structure of configuration ontology model, and realized the product configuration design through the knowledge expression and reasoning based on ontology; HEDIN, et al [2] , established product configuration model adopting an object-oriented method, and described the concepts and their relations with the relations such as generalization, specialization, inheritance, and aggregation between objects; STEIN [3] established product configuration model based on the resource relation of components, and it has been regarded that the product configuration design is to select the components constantly to make that the produce and consumption of resources are balanced, to keep the balance of the various resources; SIMPSON, et al [4] , established a configuration model with dynamic constraint, regarding configuration design as a problem of dynamic constraint, using the constraint solving method to obtain typical parameters and product family platform through clustering. MARCILIO, et al [5] , established a product collaborative configuration model, which provides efficient support for product collaborative configuration design of alliance companies.…”

The product configuration modeling is a key technology to realize configuration design. Most of the researches were mainly conducted focusing on how to establish a product configuration model, but were short of the consideration about the application scope and dynamic change features. In this paper, the reconfigurable modeling technology of similar-structure products configuration design is studied to enhance the generality and diversity of product configuration models, and to facilitate the dynamic upgrade of configuration models. The configuration components of products with similar structures are divided into sharable configuration components, essential configuration components and optional configuration components, so the construction of reconfigurable model of configuration design can be converted into the set operation of configuration components. The horizontal adjusting reconstruction of configuration model is carried out through the adding, replacing and deleting of configuration components, the vertical adjusting reconstruction of configuration model is carried out through the parametric deformation of configuration components, and the variable topological configuration model reconstruction can be realized through the transformation of partial structure of configuration components. Finally, NC machine products are used as an example to analyze and verify the reconfigurable modeling technology of products with similar structures. The speed of NC machine configuration design is found to be improved, and the number of NC machine configuration design models is decreased. And the reconfigurable design system of NC machine products is developed. The proposed modeling technology provides references for the processes, methods and steps of model reconstruction.

In this paper, we present preliminary specifications for a computer design tool for the application of mass customization in middle class apartment design in Brazil. Believing that in the digital era, network communication and digital design tools combined may create a design environment that considers consumer needs and preferences, we present a simple drafting of a computer tool that makes use of those concepts. And therefore we believe to contribute for the future construction of a design system that redefines problem scenarios, rather than providing individual solutions, repositioning architects and clients in the design process. IntroduçãoEm uma sociedade fundamentalmente urbanizada, e em crescimento, fenômeno que assume proporções relevantes no atual cenário brasileiro, nos deparamos com a necessidade de produção de habitação em massa. Contudo, com o advento da sociedade pós--industrial ou sociedade de informação, decorrente da revolução das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação --TIC, essa produção em massa adquire novos contornos.Em consequência da revolução das TIC, somos hoje indivíduos com amplo acesso a informação, poder de comunicação e manifestação de individualidade, através da comunicação em rede. Também em consequência dessa revolução, vivemos sob um novo paradigma produtivo. A inserção de tecnologias digitais no processo de produção nos aproxima do conceito de customização em massa, como alternativa ao modelo de bases fordistas da sociedade industrial.Diante deste quadro de transformações, o presente documento apresenta parcialmente os resultados da pesquisa em curso que busca apontar caminhos para a produção arquitetônica contemporânea num contexto onde coexistem: necessidade de produção de habitação em massa e observância à possibilidade de personalização. Neste contexto, os problemas de projeto tornam--se mais numerosos e complexos e o esforço de design redireciona seu foco do simples fornecimento de soluções individuais para uma profunda reformulação dos problemas de projeto. Comunicação em redeEvidenciada com a revolução da TIC, a comunicação em rede se caracteriza por uma estrutura onde os diversos pontos de uma malha têm papéis importantes na emissão e recepção da informação, havendo ativa participação de cada indivíduo no processo comunicativo. Especialmente com o advento da internet e mídias sociais, hoje o indivíduo conectado em qualquer parte do globo, tem em suas mãos poderosa ferramenta de expressão de sua individualidade.Nesse sentido, Lemos (2004) citado por Requena (2007) afirma que o modelo um--todos das mídias tradicionais opõe--se ao modelo todos--todos das mídias digitais, que privilegia uma forma descentralizada e universal de circulação de informações em tempo real. Esta circulação universal e dinâmica permite a disponibilização de informações sobre necessidades e preferências de determinado mercado de clientes, úteis a um processo produtivo que considera a personalização de seus produtos. Novo paradigma produtivoA customização em massa é um paradigma q...

In made-to-order (MTO) manufacturing enterprises (ME), product architectures are usually modularised and components standardised. Product configuration is a key technology for order realisation in MTO-ME and is a typical knowledge-based application. Through a configuration process, product modules or components are selected and assembled according to customer requirements. Product configuration relates to a great deal of knowledge that represents complexity relations among components or modules, such as configuration rules and assembly constraints. Traditional product modelling techniques are focused mainly on physical product modelling and geometric representation, which makes them insufficient to help in the product configuration process. This paper discusses configuration-oriented product modelling and knowledge management for MTO-ME. A general process of product configuration modelling is proposed. The configuration model represents a product family from which a specific configuration solution or product variant can be derived. Actually, configuration modelling is a process which captures and represents product knowledge. In this paper, product knowledge is organised and managed through a knowledge component (KCOM) that includes configuration rules and constraints. A KCOM-based product knowledge representation model is presented. Finally, a PDM system is extended to support product modelling and knowledge management for MTO configurable products.
