Abstract
The automation of engineering processes through Knowledge Based Engineering methods and technologies can provide significant savings in project scheduling and cost, increasing competitiveness in a changing aerospace market. In this paper we present outcomes of a research project aimed at improving engineering automation capability through development of a tool for automatic rule based path-finding for the complex engineering task of aircraft electrical harness and pipe routing.
