Ontology-based Experimental Support of Conceptual Actions in the Process Production of Aviation Parts Templates

Abstract

The paper presents a set of decisions for improving the processes of designing the template tooling in the aviation industry. Specificity of the offered approach to designing this kind of equipment is to obtaining positive effects of reflecting the life cycle of any template on semantic memory, such as a question-answer. The reflection of the life cycle on the semantic memory makes it possible to develop ontological means of support, to organize structural designing the configured templates of aviation details and also use of means of conceptual experimenting. Such type of experimenting suggests the structure and attributes of the semantic memory cells are focused on the coding of models of questions and answers from the viewpoint of their use in solving the creative tasks. In such modeling, any conceptual experiment is conducted as an automated mental experiment the structure and content of which are operatively used in designing of templates. The ontological support helps to reduce the design complexity, improve the initial design quality, get a shorter pre-production term, as well as to accumulate and transfer the experience of the previously implemented design solutions.
