The combination of a project (a project file), a knowledge base (a knowledge file) and the Quaestor program makes a knowledge-based system to streamline design and engineering processes (workflows).

Advantages

Knowledge-based systems in Quaestor enable research, engineering and design departments to simplify the tasks of:

• managing computational methods and model fragments;
• manage and use of complex (and knowledge based) workflows in addition to data and calculation management;
• controlling analysis, design and engineering processes;
• performing goal driven design, engineering and mathematical model development;
• project administration (all information from project data to calculation results and reports in one environment).

Next to the above features, Quaestor provides a flexible computational environment that allows:

• the concurrent use of various computational models (formulas; rules; programs; spreadsheets);
• computing solutions for problems with one or more varying independent parameters;
• easy maintenance and rapid development of new applications by including new model fragments in a knowledge base;
• the use of legacy software, prediction tools, databases, spreadsheets and relations. 

This makes Quaestor one of the most powerful environments currently available for the development and use of knowledge-based computational models, applications and configurators.
