Abstract

Abstract Evaluation is present at any phase of the life cycle of a product and each time engineering choices must be made or justified. In order to contribute to supporting the evaluation process, we propose in this paper a meta-model of data needed to evaluate product design within the Systems Engineering framework. Relevant to the MBSE approach, the proposed meta-model should facilitate the communication within a multidisciplinary design team as it highlights the concepts and relations that must be handled and shared by the designers. It could be a basis for the development of a computer assisted evaluation tool for designing interdisciplinary systems such as mechatronics ones. Some concepts and relationships of the proposed meta-model are illustrated in the mechatronic context of designing a module for a power-assisted wheelchair.
