The Methods of Knowledge Acquisition in the Product Lifecycle for a Generative Model's Creation Process

The process of automation becomes popular at different stages of the Product Lifecycle. By applying advanced CAx systems and advanced modelling techniques such as a Generative Modelling, it is possible to design, manufacture and release products onto the market in an easy and fast way. During the Product Lifecycle, a lot of knowledge about the product is generated, however, in the standard process, this knowledge is lost. By using the Knowledge-Based Engineering technique, it is possible to capture, formalise and reuse the knowledge about projects in the future. This approach has a lot of advantages, which are described in this paper.
