Abstract: AbstractWe propose a Push-Style Design Support System (PSDSs), which prevents product failures caused by improper design. While a designer is writing a specification document, PSDSs automatically shows design knowledge related to the contents in real time. The document check process can perform a highly precise check by comparing the structurized contents of the document with the structurized design knowledge flexibly, by referring to ontology data (Electronic parts DB and thesaurus dictionary). Unlike conventional expert systems using causal chains as design knowledge, the design knowledge of PSDSs is simple and easy to create. Experimental results of applying PSDSs to the design of electric circuits, 36% of the check results were the effective check that the relative low-skilled designer was not conscious of. In addition, 12% were effective check results that the experienced designer had not noticed.
