Peak, R.S. (1993) Product Model-Based Analytical Models (PBAMS): A New Representation of Engineering Analysis Models
    Focuses on the PBAM representation (including the ABB representation and constraint schematics) and automation of routine analysis. Includes example applications to solder joint analysis, and defines objectives for analysis model representations. Contains a starter set of ABBs. Discusses PMs and a precursor to SMMs, but does not explicitly define the MRA itself.

    Defines technique for taking advantage of product-specific knowledge to create complex finite element models that are not practical with typical automeshing methods.

Tamburini, D.R. (1999) The Analyzable Product Model Representation to Support Design-Analysis Integration.

    Defines the analyzable product model (APM) technique that facilitates design-analysis integration. This representation defines formal, generic, computer-interpretable constructs to create and manipulate analysis-oriented views of engineering products. Capabilities include merging design information from multiple sources and adding idealization knowledge for usage by diverse simulation templates.
