Abstract
A rules data method is devised that records, documents, organizes, filters, and sorts a set of engineering rules along with other sets of rules. The rules database method may also correctly devise an order or sequence for a set of engineering rules. The rules database method comprises firstly, to create a database (14); secondly, to convert a set of symbolic equations to spreadsheet formula; thirdly, to write spreadsheet formula to a spreadsheet (18); and fourthly, to share a set of parameters of the database (14) with a computer aided design geometry (22).
Claims28
A method for processing rules, comprising:
- creating a database;
- converting a set of symbolic equations to a formula;
- writing the formula to a program having a computer language utilizing an inference engine;
- and
- sharing a set of parameters of the database with a computer aided design geometry.
A storage medium encoded with machine-readable computer program code for processing rules along with other types of rules, the storage medium including instructions for causing a computer to implement a method comprising:
- creating a database;
- converting a set of symbolic equations to a formula;
- writing the formula to a program having a computer language utilizing an inference engine;
- and
- sharing a set of parameters of the database with a computer aided design geometry.
