Abstract

A significant problem in engineering design is the translation of a design from a set of functional requirements into a system design specification. To facilitate this transition we are developing a Design Learning Simulator (DLS). The DLS consists of three components - processes and procedures that are embodied in a product realization process, tools that support those processes, and a domain knowledge base from which to gather information to complete tasks. The Design- Learning Simulator may be accessed on the World Wide Web at "http://www.srl.gatech.edu/DLS/". In this paper, we describe a Function-Behavior- Structure model, which is embodied in a part of our Design Learning Simulator, for converting information that characterizes the needs and requirements for a product into knowledge about the product.
