(2020) A set-based approach for coordination of multi-level collaborative design studies. In: 2020 AIAA SciTech Forum, 6-10 January 2020, Orlando, Florida, USAhttps://doi.org/10.2514/6.2020-0320https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/14944Presented in this paper is a framework for design coordination of hierarchical (multi-level) design studies. The proposed framework utilizes margin management and set-based design principles for handling the challenges associated with vertical and horizontal design coordination. The former is based on flexible constraints/margins, while the latter is handled by intersecting feasible design spaces across different teams. The framework is demonstrated with an industrial test-case from the UK ATI APPROCONE (Advanced PROduct CONcept analysis Environment) project.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/A set-based approach for coordination of multi-level collaborative design studiesConference paper
