Abstract

The paper concerns the modeling, acquisition, storage, management and re-using of the engineer’s knowledge. The presented approach is based on the hierarchical structure of design knowledge. Each design domain involves theories, know-how and models which are coherent (on a suitable professional level) and have been developed over many years. With the help of this complex knowledge the core of the design process can be captured. On this basis programs and systems supporting the design process can be built which result mostly in partial models of the design product and the design process.
