Cross domain modularization tool: Mechanics, electronics, and software

Modularization is a strategy used for handling the demand external complexity with less internal complexity, which leads to higher profits and more efficient product development processes. However, modularity often driven in silos, not crossing into engineering fields of mechanics, electronics, software. Therefore, we present MESA (Mechanics, Electronics, Software Architecture) tool—a tool that can be visualize modular architectures across The demonstrates how change one domain affects rest well aligned different domains is. has been tested two case companies were application helped provide information making key design decisions new families.
