Abstract

This paper presents an application of artificial intelligence methods to the engineering domain of structural analysis We have developed and partially implemented an "automated consultant" called SACON (Structural Analysis CONsultant), using the EMYCIN system as its framework. SACON advises engineers in the use of a targe, general-purpose structural analysis program. The structure of the knowledge base, including the major concepts used and inferences drawn by the consultant, is presented. We conclude by making some observations in light of this application about the EMYCIN system as a representational vehicle.
