Abstract This paper describes the change management capabilities of a data management model to support engineering design. Specifically, it addresses the problem of detecting changes made to a design during a CAD session and efficiently maintains an evolving description of a primitive entity through the design process. We propose a hierarchical versioning model to support the independent evolution of alternative deigns for a primitive entity and provide operators to store and manage changes among versions in a particular derivation hierarchy. In addition, we present a scheme to represent the version model in a CAD paradigm. The version model presented in this paper is a component of a larger data management model of versions, assemblies, configurations to address the change management needs of collaborative design.

The district collaborative design is an advanced design organization mode. The problem of definition and expression of correlation in collaborative design is aimed. The organization characteristics are analyzed based on district collaborative design space. The connection relationship acyclic graph which includes connection semantics is achieved, and the relationship specialty and connection mode are explained. The algorithm is proposed to solve correlation for district collaborative design by use of correlation information model, and the correlation management model based on PDM is illustrated. Finally, a case study is conducted to prove these theory and method

Through analysis of the current version of relationship models, the paper presents the short points of them and develops a new PDM multi-version management model based on the theory of polychromatic sets with the concept and method of the theory introduced. This new PDM multi-version management model uses the element of polychromatic sets to represent the version of a document, a uniform color to represent the integrated attribute of object, and individual color to represent the property information of an object version respectively. Considering adjacent versions have too many identical contents, this new model introduces a method on difference information to reduce the storage space of multi-versions. Finally, the arithmetic operators of the version management model of PDM were presented through a related case.

Stir was a crowd-voted grants platform aimed at supporting creative youth in the early stages of an entrepreneurial journey. Developed through an in-depth, collaborative design process, between 2015 and 2018 it received close to two hundred projects and distributed over fifty grants to emerging creatives and became one of the most impactful programs aimed at increasing entrepreneurial activity in Canberra, Australia. The following case study will provide an overview of the methodology and process used by the design team in conceiving and developing this platform, highlighting how the community’s interests and competencies were embedded in the project itself. The case provides insights for people leading collaborative design processes, with specific emphasis on some of the characteristics on programs targeting creative youth
