Complying with product configurability,three kinds of configuration unit including basic configuration unit,geometric convertible configuration unit and structure convertible configuration unit were presented,and knowledge representation was constructed.

Similarity acquisition of function-structure feature template for configurable products based on subgraph isomorphism

In order to make configurable product design to meet customer group s requirements,customer group s configuration preference was studied.

Aiming at limitations of existing methods mapping configurable product from function to structure,the knowledge representation of product function-structure model oriented to configuration design was proposed.

And a configurable product structure model combining extensible and-or tree with assembly directional graph was proposed.

Knowledge representation and application in universal product configuration system;

Research of universal joint product configuration on KBE;

Research of product configuration technology for Mass Customization;

Automatic assembly planning of configuration product based on mapping

A new theory and method of configuration product variant design for mass customization was presented based on the study of developing principle of variant design in integrated platform, which focused on the innovation and reuse properties for configuration product.
