Concurrent Design

Concurrent design embodies team values of cooperation, trust and sharing in such a manner that decision-making is by all, involving all perspectives in parallel, from the beginning of the product life-cycle.

Valispace allows multidisciplinary teams to truly work together: giving a digital home to your project data creates the right foundation to work smarter and more efficiently. Conquer early phase designs in days instead of weeks, prototypes in customers’ hands in weeks instead of months.

Simultaneously connect your entire team to one design platform where design variables from all disciplines are stored
Quick iterations of overall systems concept and easy trade-offs between overall system concepts, subsystems or components
Take a systematic approach to integrated product development that emphasises the response to customer expectations.

“Valispace has become the reference for all technical data for the complete mission. We are able to clearly track on a daily basis the current design status."

It often takes months to go from product idea to prototype.
Iterating on designs is cumbersome and tedious, with no understanding how different design options can be traded off, backed by data
Losing sight of history and reasoning of design decisions early stage in the process often leads to misunderstandings at later phases
Unsuccessful attempts at digitizing the engineering lifecycle from day 1 in a new project
Not having the ability to work concurrently where different engineering teams depend on each other’s designs
Team-wide communication happens slowly and inefficiently, often via email or throughout multiple meetings and in an uncoordinated fashion
Proposal inconsistencies

Having the ability to evaluate which potential new products or features are feasible, even with increasing product complexity
All data points can be connected through formulas, allowing for changes to propagate automatically.
When design variables change, Valispace sends out real-time updates and notifications, as well as tracebacks.
Documentation is updated automatically and simulations are run again.
Automatically generated engineering budgets keep you up to date, even between different design choices that are being traded off

Leverage the best practices to do agile hardware development in your organisation
Useful when having to write proposals quickly with drag & drop engineering.
Concurrent design studies can benefit the development of a project even at later stages, resulting in a reduced cost, risk and saving time.
