Development of Preliminary Design Algorithm for Optical Structures Using Knowledge-based Design
This paper describes a development of design tool for knowledge based engineering(KBE) that covers structural, aerodynamic, and optical analysis of large-scale telescope structures. A module of the commercial program Adaptive Modeling Language(AML) was used to develop a knowledge-based design tool that reflects the design of parameters for rapid design change and analysis. Through this study, it is proposed a design tool with a knowledge based engineering and a function based design technique. The knowledge based engineering design is good at frequent design changes, and it is effective to extract a core design behavior from previous designs. It is concluded that the developed tool can bring fair effects in implementing a time and cost-effective design environment.
