The structure of modern mechanical and electrical products was more and more complex, the reusability and efficiency of existing structure resources and knowledge in product design was too low. In this situation, a complex product subdivision structure active push technology driven by performance requirement was proposed in this study. The mapping of performance requirement to product structure was presented, and the mathematical model of performance view and structure view was established with the aided of the quotient space theory, the transformation of performance requirement to product structure based on the feature similarity matching method was implemented. The model of complex product subdivision structure was constructed, and achieved the reuse of the knowledge of structure design and design process from local structure granularity of parts. We used modified interpretive structural model (ISM) technique to construct incidence constraint matrix and constraint network. A performance capture model was designed, and completed the subdivision structure active push design based on the network linkage. Finally, we developed an active push system of hydraulic press machine subdivision structure to validate the theory and technology we proposed.
