Abstract

CAD tools are today more and more efficient in order to provide CAD users more efficiency and improve the overall performance of design activities. CAD software editors include specific tools that are dedicated to the knowledge management in order to achieve this design performance and significant saves. The use of these tools and specific functions is nevertheless context-oriented. A decisional model for the use of knowledgeware is therefore presented and the application of knowledgeware in different industrial cases is discussed.
