Thesis defense by Anthony Geromin, doctoral student at the LISPEN laboratory: "Synthesis of professional knowledge for the emergence of geometric models: Application to mechanical power transmission shafts"
Today, many companies design their new products by analogy with existing or previously studied products. In order to limit R&D costs, engineers design their new products using a similar product as a starting point. The next step is to modify certain elements of the product so that it meets the conditions specified in the specifications. This methodology reduces industrial risks and quickly converges design studies towards robust products. However, it leads to a gradual loss of information, and any innovation that deviates from the company's patterns or standards appears all the more unstable. This thesis presents a methodology for designing mechanical power transmission shafts based on generating the geometric elements that make up the CAD model from a synthesis of knowledge and expertise in the field. The designer can then be replaced by a group of business experts who model the business data and generate the CAD model. They all become "designers" of the solution. This methodology is deployed within the Asquini MGP company through the KANO 3D software developed as part of this work.
