Sponsors: CAPTURING AND CREATING ENGINEERING CONTEXT IN MECHANICAL DESIGN SCENARIOS Victor H. Mucino, Samrat Sarovar, Aaron F. Montejo Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering West Virginia University For Long-Term Retention, Retrieval and Use of Complex Engineering Information

Need for Long-term Information Retention New CAD, CAE, CAM technology Lack of a standard

Need for Long-term Information Retention New CAD, CAE, CAM technology Lack of a standard language Loss of context in a design Engineering communication problems

Problem Statement Lack of ability to capture most of the data created No record

Problem Statement Lack of ability to capture most of the data created No record of the sequence of these data is created Human Factors Lost of design context

Context Non-technical information regarding the design WHY, WHO, WHAT, WHEN of the design Lack of context is lack of knowledge Important details required to reuse or reconstruct the design Gives an inside into the designer’s resources and the thought process Bridge between rationale and product

Solution Statement STEP IDEF 0 • Express language • Application Protocols • Federal Standard

Solution Statement STEP IDEF 0 • Express language • Application Protocols • Federal Standard • Creation of engineering activities • Correlation between activities • Integration of the entire system

Troubleshooting Engineering Scenario 1. Analysis of field reports, general review 2. Inspection of failed transmissions, check for leak signs 3. Review design specifications 4. Tests bolt tension relaxation 5. Measurement of flange surface flatness 6. Tests of flange contact pressure 10. Geometry: Flange geometries extracted from original design 11 Material: Properties from design specs 7. Finite Element Model: Contact pressure analysis of bolted flanges 12. Loads & BC: Bolt tightening specs from design 13. Failure Criteria: Bolt tension, Contact pressure 15. Results: Postprocessing 8. Prediction of leak Rates for current design yes 16. Success ? no 14. Use M & Y values from ASME Code for contact pressure Frames in green designate functions supported by STEP APs. Frames in blue designate functions that can be supported but not widely available Frames in red designate functions that are not currently supported by STEP 17. Redesign Iteration: Bolt tension, flange dimensions 9. Redesign recommendations
