本文基于一个大型集成夹具设计、分析和优化系统的子集。描述了一种基于agent的产品可制造性评估方法。本文还描述了一个基于特征的设计系统，一个用于这种基于特征的设计系统的agent体系结构，以及一种基于agent的方法，该方法通过使用与其他agent交互的可制造性评估agent和一个基于特征的设计系统来评估产品的可制造性。

This paper is based on a subset of a larger integrated fixture design, analysis, and optimization system. An agent-based methodology for evaluating manufacturability of a product is described. This paper also describes a feature-based design system, an agent architecture for such a feature-based design system and an agent-based methodology by using manufacturability evaluation agent that interacts with other agents and a feature-based design system in assessing the product's manufacturability.
