The preferred embodiments described below include methods, systems and computer readable media for cross discipline data validation checking in a multidisciplinary system. One or more multidisciplinary validation rules are used to perform cross discipline data validation checking to determine whether multidisciplinary data is consistent across engineering disciplines. The multidisciplinary validation rules define the scope of the validation checking within the engineering application () associated each engineering discipline. The results of the validation check are provided to the user.

The preferred embodiments described include methods, systems, and computer readable media for linking data in a multidisciplinary engineering system. One or more multidisciplinary templates are created for a multidisciplinary engineering system. Reusable multidisciplinary templates link engineering objects and parameters between engineering disciplines. The objects and parameters in the template may be linked to one or more disciplines based on role, responsibility, department or other criteria. Changes to the template may be propagated to each discipline affected by the changes. The template may also link data entered at the engineering applications () and facilitate workflows and sign-off procedures between applications ().

The preferred embodiments described below include methods, systems and computer readable media for generating programmable logic controller (PLC) code based on a connectivity model in a multidisciplinary engineering system. The connectivity model provides interfacesandand connectionsbetween various aspects of the multidisciplinary engineering system to provide engineering data, code scripts, executables, calls and other information that is used to generate PLC code. Code generation rulesare employed utilizing the engineering data, code scripts, executables, calls and other information received using the connectivity model to generate PLC code.

An interactive design system includes a design application that creates and models a geometry of an object. A programming language application defines engineering rules that may be associated with the object. The programming language application associates the geometry of the object with the engineering rules such that any change made to the geometry is automatically reflected in the engineering rules and any change made to the engineering rules is reflected in the geometry. The programming language application may also generate one or more knowledge features that can be used to verify that associated parameter constraints have not been violated as a result of a geometry or engineering rule change before applying the desired changes.
