Hi Friends,

I am wondering how knowledge based system can be developed using
SOLIDWORKS. Are there any built-in features to support it. Like CATIA
has "knowledge advisor", "rule editor" etc.

any info will be of much help

regards,
Pranav

The integration would need to de done using the solidworks API if you
are writing your own product. Check out some of the existing products
that do this. RuleStream and DriveWorks. We sell both.

If you have 2008 it has a basic version of Driveworks called Driveworks
Express that you could try before buying.

For me it would also be nice to get an overview of what's going on.
Some of the products I know is more like "Product Configuration" than KBE.

There must also exist som homemade API systems or advanced spreadsheets use
out there.

I'm a veteran AutoCAD design automation consultant. I've recently decided to
add the Solidworks API to my toolbelt since Solidworks seems to be steadily
eroding the Autodesk customer base.

IMHO the macro recorder and the API used in conjunction with
conffigurations, equations and design table features make it an extremely
powerful tool to create an in-house design automation application. There are
several ways to incorporate your SOP and business rules into your
application dependant on how experienced you are with the variation of
tools.

I'm actually looking for a real world project to cut my teeth on. I have
samples of other apps I've developed and I have no problem with signing
non-disclosure agreements to protect your intellectual property.

If anyone would like to work together on a project like this (pro-bono) for
mutual benefit please ffeel free to contact me at dmleves at telus dot net.

Best regards,
