Abstract
An engineering analysis model is indispensable to predict the behavior of a product for its rational evaluation and optimization. In the process of modeling engineering analysis, an engineer makes numerous modeling idealizations or assumptions, which depend on a various factors of design, such as the objectives of the engineering analysis or design time constraints. Knowledge about such modeling idealizations is dynamic in nature. Because a today's product is getting more large-scaled and multi-disciplinary, management of dynamic knowledge about modeling engineering analysis becomes more important. This research aims to develop the system that supports and captures the process of modeling engineering analysis of a multidisciplinary system. This paper discusses issues of supporting a multidisciplinary design, and overviews development of a supporting system.
