Integration of life-cycle constraints in design activity

The constraints concerning the whole life-cycle of a product must be integrated as soon as possible during the product design process, in order to decrease the final cost and to reduce the time to market. For this purpose, we propose a multi-actors and multi-views Cooperative Design Modeler, named CoDeMo, that allows the integration of different partners during the design activity. Our design methodology proposes the emerging of a product model from the specific constraints, results of the activity of the technologists, the manufacturers or the recycling actors. CoDeMo facilitates the dialogue between the diverse professions with the specification of the links existing among the views and by proposing a coordination system.
