Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The pilot project initiatives using Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE), Design Automation (DA), and visual modelling techniques, at Saab Aeronautics, are presented in this work. The aim is to evaluate their practical applicability and outline how organisations can implement accelerated product development methodologies. By integrating organisational knowledge, parametric models, standardized workflows and automation tools, design lead times are significantly reduced, allowing design expertise to focus on innovation, quality, and strategic problem-solving.
