| Popis: | Over the last decades, noticeable efforts have been made to construct design knowledge during the detailed geometric definition phase systematically. However, physical products exhibit functional behaviors, which explain that they evolve over space and time. Hence, there is a need to extend assembly product knowledge towards the spatiotemporal dimension to provide more realistic knowledge models in assembly design. Systematic semantic knowledge representation via ontology enables designers to understand the anticipated product’s behavior in advance. In this article, Interval Algebra (IA) and Region Connection Calculus (RCC) are investigated to formalize and construct ontological spatiotemporal assembly product motion knowledge. IA is commonly used to represent the temporality between two entities, while RCC is more appropriate to represent the ‘part-to-part’ relationships of two topological spaces. This paper discusses the roles of IA and RCC and presents a case study of a nutcracker assembly model’s behavior. The assembly product motion ontology with the aid of IA and RCC is evaluated using a task-based approach. The evaluation shows the added value of the developed ontology compared to others published in the literature. |
