Abstract
In the present article a framework and a development process for the design of structural components is presented. Focus of this process is a maturity model based approach where the product is systematically assessed at maturity gates regarding specified characteristics and properties. The maturity model is introduced from the 3 different viewpoints required properties and boundary conditions, design parameters and finally computer-aided synthesis and analysis Tools. The process was visualized with a front frame of a wheel loader.
Keywords: maturity model, integrated product development, computational design synthesis (CDS)
