SDM Framework as a Support for Decision-Making Traceability in Design of Experiments Process

Abstract : During the design of experiments process several simulations and experimentations are performed to evaluate all design solutions’ alternatives. Technical meetings toke place regularly with the aim to select the product parameters and their values range to be considered in each simulation as well as the resolution methods and algorithms. One of the major problems concerns the lack of traceability and connections between all these design decisions and simulation results along the design process. A Simulation Data Management framework is proposed in this paper as a solution to resolve such kind of problems. This will enhance the final performance of the design of experiment process by reducing time of resolution and ensuring consistency of all simulation parameters, decisions and results.
