Abstract :
This paper presents an approach for rapidly integrating CAE analysis programs into complex engineering methodologies. The blackboard technique has been adopted in the implementation of this approach, especially for the process scheduling, monitoring, and potentially, diagnosis. This approach has now been implemented and tested in prototyping projects on several engineering methodologies involving multiple analysis programs
