Abstract

Among engineering designers, interest has increased for some years in integrating several functions into one component (parts count reduction). On the other hand, a component will be to costly to manufacture when reaching a certain degree of complexity. When deciding upon such, the designer is requested to know the consequences upon the requirements set. Correct speci­fications play an important role in preventing failure and aid in foreseeing scenarios involving the product. In this paper a specification model is proposed which supports the designer in finding relevant requirements before selecting between solution alternatives. Results from implementations on two different products are also presented.
