See the full impact of any change across every dependency, before you commit, not at validation.
The impact analysis for a change is done in a meeting, by hand, against a paper checklist. Nobody can say whether it is complete. Nothing reminds anyone of what was skipped.
of paper checklist, ticked by hand
« We estimate whether the analysis is complete. Finger in the air. »
How do you answer that today?
Impact is computed from the graph, not remembered in a meeting.Requirements in a spreadsheet, parts in the PLM, CAD in a second tool, the standard as a PDF. Every design change means opening all four and working out by hand what it just invalidated.
PLM, CAD, the standard as a PDF, and a spreadsheet
« We need requirements traceability to replace the manual spreadsheets before the launch. »
Design data sits in the PLM, production data in the ERP. Neither speaks to the other, so the gap is filled by Word and Excel files, maintained by hand, trusted by nobody, and referenced by the drawings.

« There is a gap between our PLM and our ERP, filled with Excel and Word files. Traceability becomes a nightmare. »
Impact analysis · Computed
With the Computed system, every element lives inside another element, and every attribute (mass, size, coefficient) feeds a formula. Change one characteristic on a leaf of the tree and Koddex recomputes the whole chain instantly, both directions, up to the requirement it might break.
The impact path, live
Every component is bidirectionally linked at every depth. A single edit on a leaf attribute propagates an alert up the entire chain, and reverting the edit clears the chain back to green.
Trace every consequence before you commit. Across the whole graph, both directions.
Model your product as a tree where every element nests inside another, down to the leaf attribute, exactly how a real assembly is built.
Mass, size, coefficients and ratios are tied together by formulas, so a value never lives alone: it feeds everything downstream.
Change a characteristic and Koddex traverses the graph, lighting up every dependent element, formula, requirement and baseline, in both directions.
If the cascade pushes a requirement out of spec, it's flagged at the moment of the edit, not three weeks later at validation.
Change one attribute and watch what it invalidates, before you commit it.
Every dependency of a change listed the moment you propose it, with what needs re-reviewing and what does not.
Mass, cost and coverage roll up the tree on their own, so a stale figure cannot survive a change made below it.
The full propagation path, rendered, so a review argues about the right three items instead of the whole BOM.
