Quaestor is a software framework for developing and using knowledge based systems containing computational methods and data. With  With these systems, you are able to streamline analysis, design and engineering processes.

The general architecture can be sketched as follows:

...

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:

...

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

Technical details

Quaestor can be used in three ways, depending on your personal requirements and user license. See user levels documentation for more detail:

...

Please note that in addition to providing single values for parameters, the user can provide ranges of values for several parameters. This makes it possible to compute matrices of parameter variations to perform trade-off studies or to check the robustness of solutions. 

License options

The software can be purchased with an annual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, user license. A demo version of Quaestor is available for free. This version provides full user rights up to 100 frames per knowledge base (i.e. 100 parameters, relations and constraints in total).
