Design variable control

Today’s CAD systems offer sophisticated links among dimensions, enabling their users to produce true parametric designs. That’s wonderful—but it is limited to geometric constraints.

How do you evaluate the effects of a weight change? A difference in power requirements? An alteration in the dielectric quality of a component?

With current systems, the answer is: Manually.

With KollabNet, you create appropriate DesignBlocks, and tie them to suitable analytical software—spreadsheets or special-purpose codes. Then you simply design, and let KollabNet keep track of the variables.

When you exceed any limits, regardless of how complex, KollabNet lets you know.

But there’s more. For any DesignBlock, you can ask KollabNet to show you what DesignBlocks affect it, and what DesignBlocks it affects. So when you want to explore the impact of a change you are considering, KollabNet lets you know what else you will affect.

Not only does KollabNet keep track of your changes, it also keeps track of all the reasons behind the changes. You can always ask, "Why was it changed? "or "What was the change based on?"
