Information model of the design process of technical objects

Abstract

For purposeful management of technical objects design of mechanical engineering in CAD system it is offered to consider design as a manufacturing process. Its model is based on block-hierarchical approach "from top to down". The model of the manufacturing task is accepted to be the main model for construction as the smallest structural unit. The offered model is structural and uniform and provides a convenient and reliable software realization. The considered model covers practically available characteristics of manufacturing process and is a basis for monitoring of the design condition and decision-making.
