In the automotive industry, the design process is both costly and time-consuming. This research focuses on improving the design process by mainly reducing time while producing more robust vehicles. Vehicle development is based on simulation; thus, the design process is referred to as simulation-aided design. Engineering design is highly collaborative and knowledge intensive. Therefore, knowledge management plays a crucial role in today's global economy and is essential for the competitiveness of companies. However, current research on engineering knowledge management focuses on either the codification or the personalisation approaches of knowledge management. Thus, this paper addresses an integrated and collaborative approach. This paper aims to develop an ontology-based knowledge management approach to support simulation-aided design, specifically car crash simulation. The knowledge management support system is designed to ensure the capture and retrieval of engineering knowledge and to enable collaboration between different stakeholders. An evaluation of the models and technologies used is also undertaken, based on use case scenarios.

在汽车工业中，设计过程既昂贵又费时。这项研究的重点是通过主要减少时间，同时生产更坚固的车辆来改善设计过程。车辆开发基于仿真；因此，设计过程称为模拟辅助设计。工程设计是高度协作且知识密集的。因此，知识管理在当今的全球经济中起着至关重要的作用，对于公司的竞争力至关重要。但是，当前对工程知识管理的研究集中于知识管理的编纂或个性化方法。因此，本文探讨了一种集成和协作的方法。本文旨在开发一种基于本体的知识管理方法来支持仿真辅助设计，特别是汽车碰撞模拟。知识管理支持系统旨在确保捕获和检索工程知识，并实现不同利益相关者之间的协作。根据用例场景，还对使用的模型和技术进行了评估。
