SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COLLABORATIVE VIRTUAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

摘要

Various disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for collaborative virtual product development. According to disclosed embodiments, a system includes a collaborative design associated with a virtual product, the collaborative design including a plurality of design elements representing units of data which include attributes, positions, and geometries of the virtual product. The collaborative design also references a plurality of partitions defined as a hierarchical organization of the design elements. The collaborative design also includes at least one workset comprising a subset of the design elements possessing memberships in the workset based on one or more predetermined rules. The workset is configured to enable a user to modify the collaborative design. The system includes a search application configured to search the design elements and operable to generate the subset based on the predetermined rules.
