Design Evolution Management

Organize and analyze alternative versions of project files

Design evolutions help you to model and analyze your engineering process. A design evolution is a snapshot of all files included in a project.

When developing a new design or troubleshooting an existing design, you may add or remove files from the design, or create different versions of files in your design. By creating evolutions at key stages in your design process, you can organize and compare alternative versions of a design during the course of your work. The relationships between evolutions and the metadata associated with evolutions help you to understand the big picture trajectory of your design process, including why certain design decisions were made.

The Design Evolution Manager is available on MATLAB^® Online™ only and requires a Simulink^® license.
