Abstract:
1. A device for formulating numerical models of manufactured products by defining predetermined numerical data, comprising: a display unit; a storage unit configured to store numerical data for each model, the numerical data being representative of components constitutive of a manufactured product, variables and constraints; a processor configured to formulate a numerical model, the processor including wherein the display unit displays different specific acquisition windows of the user interface defining different formulation steps to formulate the numerical model, each specific acquisition window being configured to acquire all numerical data needed for one corresponding formulation step, each specific acquisition window and corresponding formulation step permitting a human operator of the device to define predetermined numerical data permitting constitution of the numerical model and to store the predetermined numerical data in memory, wherein said acquisition windows and corresponding formulation steps comprise: and wherein each acquisition window and said corresponding formulation step are further configured to execute a functional model that can be used to define a manufactured product configuration.
