Abstract
Complex products such as parallel robots need sophisticated management of knowledge and an integrated use of different tools during the whole product development process.
At the outset, this paper presents methods for knowledge structuring, such as object-oriented systems modeling and computer-aided design catalogs. It is shown how these approaches assist in early development phases (requirements management and goal conflict analysis), middle phases (concepts for modular products and reconfiguration) and later phases (definition of shape parameters and case based reasoning). In the end, the development environment demonstrates coherent data exchange and rule processing between the different design tools involved.
