Preliminary design, first time right

By some estimates, 70-80% of a product’s total life costs are committed by the decisions made in the early design stages. The high-level design concept will not only determine the production cost but also the product’s operating costs – a critical competitive factor and differentiator.

Our preliminary design platform Pacelab Suite helps design and systems engineers at aircraft, ship, rail and motor vehicle OEMs and first-tier suppliers to reliably assess future product characteristics and performance and to explore more design alternatives in less time.

Highly scalable and fully extensible, Pacelab Suite can be flexibly tailored to a wide range of engineering domains; it also provides the enabling technology for our off-the-shelf software Pacelab APD for preliminary aircraft design and Pacelab SysArc for systems architecture design.
