Management of Heterogeneous Information for Integrated Design of Multidisciplinary Systems

In this paper, after presenting the multidisciplinary integration during the system design, the importance of effective exchange between designers from different disciplines is highlighted. Then, the existing techniques related to the capture and management of heterogeneous information are presented. Afterwards, an approach helping designers to capture the design data issued from CAD models and 0D/1D and 2D/3D CAE results, is introduced. Finally, the conclusion is drawn and future work is pointed out.
