Abstract

This paper presents our experience on further development of a superset language of Smalltalk for modeling distributed mechanical design systems. In this language, mechanical system modeling primitives are called features. Features are described at two levels, class level and instance level, representing standard product libraries and special product data, respectively. Features modeled at different locations are associated by Internet. Class features at remote locations can be used for generating instance features at the local site. Instance features at remote locations can be accessed from the local site. This new language was implemented using Smalltalk.
