工程设计是寻找满足一定要求的解决方案的结构化和系统化的过程。该领域的研究主要集中在开发更有效和高效的产品实现过程模型上。当今的工程设计已经成为一个知识密集和协作的过程，需要多学科的设计知识。因此，知识流的建模在确定一个成功的设计方案中起着关键作用，它为设计师提供了对设计问题的有价值的见解。本文提出了一种用于知识表示和基于知识流的设计过程建模的本体框架——目的-功能-工作空间-结构-行为（PFWSB）。最后通过一个实例说明了如何使用所提出的框架来表示工程设计知识，并描述设计过程中决策者之间的知识流动。结果表明，该框架可以帮助设计人员更有效地捕捉工程设计过程中的知识流动。
Engineering design is a structured and systematic process of finding solutions to meet certain requirements. Research in this field has focused heavily on developing more effective and efficient product realization process models. Today’s engineering design has become a knowledge intensive and collaborative process, requiring multidisciplinary design knowledge. Therefore, the modeling of knowledge flow plays a key role in determining a successful design alternative, which provides valuable insights into design problems for designers. This article proposes an ontological framework, purpose-function-working space-structure-behavior (PFWSB) for knowledge representation and knowledge flow based design process modeling. An illustrative case is also presented to demonstrate how to use the proposed framework to represent engineering design knowledge and describe the knowledge flow between decision makers during a design process. The results show that this framework can help designers capture the flow of knowledge in engineering design process more effectively.
