Method of knowledge-based engineering design of an instrument panel

摘要

A method of knowledge-based engineering design of an instrument panel for a vehicle includes the steps of defining a parameter of the instrument panel using a knowledge-based engineering library stored in a memory of a computer system, generating a model of the instrument panel based on the parameter and analyzing the model of the instrument panel. The method also includes the steps of comparing a result of the analysis of the model of the instrument panel to a predetermined criteria from the knowledge-based engineering library, and varying the parameter so that the model of the instrument panel meets the predetermined criteria.
