An intelligent multi-blackboard CAD system

Abstract In this paper, automatic modeling techniques in intelligent CAD systems are discussed and a multi-blackboard based modeling method is presented. It supports modeling with multilevel accuracy and can convert abstract symbolbased description of a design object into the desired 3D model. These characteristics meet the modeling requirements for supporting the overall design process and are suitable for intelligent CAD systems. We implement them in an intelligent chair design system, AUTOCHAIR.
