Individualized and accurate eco-design knowledge push for designers: a CAD-based feedback knowledge push method for the eco-design

In the conceptual design phase of eco-products, the evaluation of products eco-design is often considered by designers after determining the design scheme. In order to improve the eco-design efficiency, a CAD-based feedback knowledge push method was proposed to meet the designer’s eco-design knowledge requirements. Combine with the designer knowledge background, classified eco-design knowledge, and decomposed design tasks, eco-design knowledge requirements of designers can be obtained. Based on the cosine similarity algorithm of the knowledge vector space model (VSM), the knowledge requirements of the designer and the knowledge in the knowledge database are matched, and the eco-knowledge is actively pushed to the designer. The feedback and evaluation of designers on the initial push of knowledge was recorded by the system. When the designer is assigned relevant eco-design tasks again, the system conducts secondary filtering of eco-design knowledge through previous feedback records and pushes the filtered knowledge to designers, so as to achieve accurate feedback knowledge push. A CAD-based eco-design knowledge push prototype system for automotive products is developed. The eco-design of the front-end module of the automotive is used as an example to verify the effectiveness of the above method.
