# Safran medium/long-term collaboration ## Engineering 4.0 The `MUSCLOR` project focuses on modern ways to design complex systems (turbofans, landing gears, etc.). Today: - a lot of tools, one/multiple per field of competence, totally disconnected - process: extract from a tool, send spreadsheets of data, import in another tool, version sometimes - more integrated conception = chaining tools - quick win approach, automate the existing process - a lot of work done to *translate* data (e.g. naming, units) from a tool to another Target: - think new process/tools together - design future tools to be capable of better integration and allow better collaboration - used separately in a still sequential approach (inputs/outputs standards) - used together in a higher system level approach - assembly of the multi physics models to represent a part model that is not only a CAD - assess impact of one physic on the others (multi physics derivatives) - give access to this model to everyone, in read/write mode according their authorizations - no need to open multiple tools and do save/open several times - access shared information (CAD, physical data from simulations, etc.) but also modify it in a shared place - trigger actions to check validity of submitted modifications (clashed, max physical values on specific simulations, etc.) - trigger review from other teams (impact of your modifications on others) - adapt the view to the users: "Cockpit of conception" - a lot of different point of views are needed (engineering, technical management, etc.) - a single interface is maybe not the right approach - evaluate capability of a modular approach - through `JupyterLab` - e.g. an enginner may need the CAD editor module + domain specific simulation/viz tools (aero, mech, thermal, etc.), a marketing guy only a CAD viewer, etc. Prototype this vision was the essence of `CoSApp`.
