Abstract :
Feature technique and expert system are two popular research fields in mechanical design and CAD. This paper elucidates how to adapt artificial intelligence and object-oriented thoughts to develop an information system of product design and CAD. For this purpose, it is analyzed how to build a feature library that can be called for functional modelling design of the parts and a knowledge base that is an object-oriented knowledge structure. To solve the difficulty of message linking in an object-oriented system or of frame linking in a frame system, it put forward a new method of object-oriented inheritable assembling so that the assembly of class architecture is as general, simple and flexible as that of part´s sub-structures. FFPDES has been developed to design five kinds of heavy and complex parts of machine tools in a factory
