Knowledge Enabled Engineering

The key concepts of Knowledge Enabled Engineering are that the logics of the design object and the actual design process is described in a way that allows generation of design solutions (e.g. geometries and more). A KEE system needs a language for defining an engineering design process and a user interface that allows the activation of the design process definition and the subsequent creation of a design. Using KEE, the advantages are quite appealing; lead time for standard work activities can be dramatically decreased in combination with an increased and controllable quality. Standard solutions can be generated, evaluated and reported repeatedly at a low cost for each iteration. Engineers can concentrate on the more intellectual parts of engineering work rather than spending time doing dull and cumbersome routine work. In this way, the design team can afford to investigate more design alternatives on a more detailed and controlled level than what is possible using more interactive approaches.
