Abstract

The world of engineering has changed greatly in the last decades. We witnessed that softwares have become omnipresent. Various domain engineering disciplines are now strongly supported by software tools. Moreover, the increasing complexity of systems leads to develop softwares where heterogeneous engineering domains have to collaborate within the same project. The paper describes a new concept of a generic multidisciplinary models composition tool that aims to address multidisciplinary development process. We illustrate the benefits of this approach using a development use case example inspired from the actuarial science.
