1.2 Project Goals and Challenges

As already described, the main objective of this project is to logically link different civil systems to model an integrated product. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to scale the risks and define the associated challenges already at the beginning of the project. This helps to develop the strategy for a successful management of the problems early in the process. For this purpose, the following chapter of the Website serves to present the Goals and Challenges of this project based on the following Figure:

Figure 1: Goals & Challenges

 


As can be learned from Figure 1, one of the main challenge is to understand the behaviour of the different subsystems. In this, the focus is mainly on considering the multiple high-performance criteria in the design variant generation. It is very complex for designers to combine several systems based on different high-performance criteria, as each of the subsystems must fulfill different requirements. Another challenge that should not be forgotten is the adherence to the agreed deadlines in order to avoid delays in the project. Here it is the responsibility of the individual to manage time correctly. In addition, it will be important to create the models flexibly so that possible sources of error can be changed without much effort. This will also make the generation of different design alternatives more efficient.

The main goal of this work is to generate the best possible design variants in terms of the high-performance criteria for the subsystems. To be able to evaluate the performance, a matrix is created that evaluates the alternatives based on targets and thus filters out the best option.
