Abstract
The "Manual Multi-Material-Design" presented in this paper is a Knowledge Management System (KMS) for the automotive lightweight design, providing design rules. For developing automotive components in multi-material-design extensive expertise for various topics is compulsory. Besides, design expertise regarding steel, knowledge about fibre reinforced plastics (FRP), joining and production technologies are crucial. To accelerate the development of components in multi-material-design and to enhance the engineers expertise, a Knowledge Management System must be developed.
Keywords: lightweight design, knowledge based engineering, knowledge structuring, design guidelines
