Abstract

The paper describes the concept of an approach to the automation of typical design decisions in the preliminary design of an aircraft applied to the design of a conventional regional multipurpose aircraft. The description of a CAD master model as a basis for finite element structure optimization is given. The issues regarding parameterization and optimization of the model in the process of refining the design project are stated. The relations between the subject of design process and the CAD metamodel based on CATIA are examined in application to the automation of designing. An interaction schema for the computational, geometrical, and heuristic components of the designing decision support system on the basis of ontological domain description is given.
