Managing engineering parameters in complex product development process

Users, which are mainly product designers and product developers, use computer aided design to design parts and assemblies. When they design complex product, they are dealing with many CAD models, parameters, constraints and relations. The eternal issues are how to manage complexity and how to help engineers to get final product fast and with less effort. A parameter in this approach describes a characteristic variable of a system element. The parameter can be of functional or geometrical character. Many parameters are related. For complex product, there can exist the huge number of parameters. Therefore, many relations between these parameters exist. In order to reduce number relations, parameters are grouped in functional groups or active chains.
