Abstract:The complexity of an engineering product is based in part on the number of components and their dependencies, where the latter can be desired or undesired. In some cases, where those dependencies exist concurrently, engineers can be misled regarding the design challenge at hand due to ill-adapted representation methods, especially when managing various abstraction levels. To overcome this issue, a new modeling method to concurrently handle positive and negative dependencies is proposed. This paper suggests mod… Show more
