Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
Increasing product complexity and diversity especially in case of mechatronic products leads to the need for extended method and tool support during product development. Specialized authoring tools allow the creation of descriptive product models utilizing modelling languages like the Systems Modelling Language (SysML). The high level of complexity also requires a lot of coordination and collaboration effort and the associated data exchange between a variety of stakeholders. Although specifications exist, exchange of SysML model data – in particular of graphical diagram information – is often not possible due to compatibility problems. Hence, a concept for visualizing SysML models in Product Data Management (PDM) systems without using an authoring tool is introduced. A layer model generated by using design phase information delivered by the Requirements, Functional, Logical, Physical (RFLP) product design approach is proposed. Furthermore, various functions of the visualization module are presented. The so-called “Lightweight Visualization” approach shall ease the exchangeability of SysML model data within distributed development networks.
