Sprut ExPro — A Means of Generating Multi-Agent Design Systems for Mechanical Engineering. Part 2

The complexity and cost of design, as well as the quality of results, is determined by the volume and depth of the engineering knowledge, embodied in the computer. Multi-agent engineering computerization technology enables specialists, who do not have deep knowledge in computer science, to create specialized automated workplaces for themselves and their colleagues. In this case, the engineering work is undergoing a qualitative change: the designer inputs initial data into the computer and monitors the project generation process, making key creative decisions by choosing from the options offered by the computer. Such systems can justifiably be classed as an entirely new category of semi-automated design systems. The theory and practice of generating multi-agent systems are described. Artificial agents for generating 3D models, and implementation methods for complex agents are presented. Multi-agent systems are considered as a means of integrating software packages. Methods of structural synthesis in multi-agent systems and methods of creating semi-automatic design systems are described.
