An intelligent system for routing automation

authors: Christian Van der Velden, Cees Bil, Xinghuo Yu, Adrian Smith

We present an outline of an intelligent routing environment developed for design automation of aircraft electrical wiring harness and pipe routing. The system interfaces with domain experts for capture of engineering knowledge and rules. System users specify only a few parameters to define individual routing problems. Geometry obstacles are specified using a discrete Finite Element (FE) mesh. Resultant paths are output in IGES form as CAD-readable geometry, and as a FE mesh consisting of geometry, routed path and knowledge layers. The knowledge layer provides detail of the rules and knowledge implemented throughout the routing process.

Where is Fig. 6 in your paper?

I couldn't fine it.

Hi, my apologies, there is a mistake in the text. The pointer to Fig. 6 should read Fig. 5. The text refers to this figure, demonstrating that the rule for following structure and cables of the same category was observed by the routing system.
