Product Synthesis
Managing costs and time
? From the geometrical models and parts split by disciplines
to a single technological model gathering all product
informations (disciplines specific rules, constraints,
validations, …)
? Configurations of parts and components
? Automation or assistance to drive modifications and
repeated tasks
? Automatic iterations to reach a defined objective
Knowledgeware
Managing quality
? Standardisation of design modes with the help of generic models
? Re-use of best practices
? The user is guided or assisted in his decisions
? Integration of checks and immediate validation
? Tools to automate the compliance with standards
Reacting to changing market needs
? Integration of specifications and constraints early in the design
process
? Easy creation of product families
? Fast iterations on design variants
? Dynamic estimates (costs, weight, …)
? Decision support
Capitalizing and sharing know-how
? Discipline specific geometrical and technological know-hows are
embedded in the applications
? Functions and components libraries
? Integration of company technological rules and parameters
? Capitalisation with components and tasks
? Dynamic access, accessible and shareable to all
? Fast and easy reuse of know-how in new contexts
Integrating design and analysis
A complete validation chain
? Bridging design and analysis activities
? Integrated and associative analysis
? A functional coverage adapted to
disciplines
