Optimize Early Design Decisions with Trade-Off Analysis

Best Practices in Product Development: Early exploration of design options to enable early design decisions.

Have you ever:

wanted to explore more conceptual design options, but the process was too time intensive to consider as many alternatives as you would have liked to?
spent time assessing different ways to meet customer requirements, but the rationale for the design choice was not clearly captured or communicated to other critical stakeholders?
worked on a variation of a previous product, but had a difficult time understanding why certain decisions were made in the original design?

Design Studies and Trade-Off Analyses are best practices that design engineers use to make decisions early in the product development process.

Download the latest whitepaper on Design Studies and Trade-Off Analyses from Mathcad, PTC to learn how enterprises can achieve all of the above.

What can you expect from this whitepaper?

This whitepaper examines three different scenarios where design studies are used to optimize the product development process and easily document the rationale for the decisions. Examples include:

Redesigning a circuit in a video game controller to improve reliability, lower power consumption, and greater interoperability.
Determining the optimal material for a robotic armature that meets the constraints of thickness, weight, and cost.
Investigating the cost/ benefit trade-offs for different bridge designs.

Design Studies and Trade-Off Analyses with Mathcad

Learn how Mathcad can help you conduct early Design Studies and Trade-Off Analyses so your product developers can test and evaluate different model options to select the product design that best meets your design requirements. Using this best practice can help you:

Shorten time-to-market, with less risk
Enhance engineering creativity – explore more options for product designs, faster
Attain desired real-world performance
Lower product development and warranty costs

Design Studies and Trade-Off Analyses are essential to companies that aim to efficiently develop high-quality product designs and control costs. With the right tools and methodologies, design studies can help planning teams analyze different options in product design and hone in on the one solution with the most desirable trade-offs.
