Abstract
This paper presents the development of a roadmap to enhance the current utilisation of digital design data within the aerospace engineering discipline. Within companies, many decisions have to be taken throughout the product design and development based on accessing data and information. The quality and timeliness of such decisions depends on the data availability. Therefore, there is a need for enhancing the digital data availability in order to make better decisions in a shorter time, reducing the product lead time. This research project, which conduced in collaboration between Airbus in the UK and Cranfield University, has identified opportunities to exploit the access and sharing of digital data, specifically within the stress population through the use of Digital Mock-Up colouring and lightweight visualization. © Cranfield University 2009.
