Descripción: This thesis presents the development of an intelligent CAD system (ICADS) for DC machines. This system was implemented on a PC using Common Lisp provided by Gold Works II and connected with a Sun Workstation working under the Unix system for file transfer.
Both frame-based and rule-based knowledge representation techniques have been used to capture the knowledge about the design of electric machines. The system has its own inference engine specially designed to handle both decision making and numerical computation. Forward-chain reasoning and procedural attachment were used to construct this inference engine. The knowledge base management system provides a user interface for knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, man-machine communication, design document preparation, etc. The design results are translated to a finite element analysis file and sent to MagNet2D, a powerful electromagnetic field analysis package for design checking and refinement.
The system provides different levels of design automation to suit the needs of the system user. As examples the design results of a series of universal motors and a small DC motor are provided in the thesis.
