Abstract

Recently, product models serve lifecycle product information for wide area of engineering activities. This extended purpose results very large and complex product models with high number of relations. Restricted capability of product models for representation of some important elements of the human thinking process during definition of engineering objects in current industrial modeling systems makes it impossible to evaluate, revise, and change hundreds of already decided engineering object parameters. In this paper, a new methodology and several related processes are introduced in order to better communication between human and model generation processes. The main essence of the proposed product modeling is that human intent controlled development of engineering objects is realized by an extension to current industrial product model called as model of information content. Engineering objectives and contextual connections are defined as human intent driven features and applied at decision on engineering object parameters and at control of processes for engineering object parameter optimization and relating. The proposed modeling is connected to knowledge handling and knowledge based advisory functionalities of industrial product modeling systems. As a conclusion, a new modeling is placed between human and model information generation procedures in order to represent human originated background of model information for engineering objects.
