Stay Caught up with Parameters

Establish a live data backbone for your engineering workflows. Stop chasing down key values in siloed tools and give your team a single, authoritative source for the data that drives your design.

Start using parameter sets to keep track of the data you care about or pair them with Scripts to get oh so fresh analyses at your fingertips — free.

Create a Single Source-of-Truth for Critical Design Data

Connect Parameters to live data from your most important engineering tools, eliminating manual data entry and stale information.

Link directly to values from integrated sources like: - Component mass from CAD likeSolidworks PDM, Onshape - Simulation results from Scripts in MATLAB, Python - Part data from PLM/PDM systems like Teamcenter, Duro - and more.

• Help your team view product data without overpaying for access to expensive engineering tools

• Define values manually for static inputs, then seamlessly update them to a live link as your design matures

• Organize your parameters into parameter sets and folders intuitively.

Build an Authoritative and Interconnected Data Model

Use Parameters to represent key performance indicators (KPIs), technical budgets (mass, power, cost), and other critical system values that are authoritative and interconnected.

• Create a web of data where a change in one source (like a CAD file) automatically propagates to all dependent parameters and analyses, preventing design decisions from being made on outdated numbers.

• Easily view live updates by subscribing to parameter sets and getting notifications when your watched items change

Power Live Scripts and Automate Analysis

Use Parameters as direct inputs for live scripts that run automatically when underlying data changes.

Trigger complex calculations, trade studies, and analyses without manual intervention.

• Create the parameters you'll use for your analysis. Fill in values manually or link them directly to any Violet entity's data.

• Open Scripts and create variables that are linked to parameters (inputs or outputs).

• Write your analysis code in Matlab, Python, or Julia.

• Set the script to "live" and get automatic updates when the results are updated.

Power your VCRM with Parameters and Requirements

Parameters can link directly to math-aware Requirements allowing a dynamic look at your compliance as well as a link to your verification artifacts.

FAQs

Can my team access Violet Requirements?

Yes; users who only need to view requirements are free. Uses who need to edit requirements are considered a requirements user and require a license; see Pricing for details.

I already use a requirements tool: why would I use Violet?

There are great requirements management tools in the market! We've observed their data can become siloed and teams can be challenged to keep the whole group up-to-date. Further, requirements are often disconnected from the design and verification data relating to them, so systems engineers spend lots of time manually keeping things aligned.

Violet offers a means for teams to access their requirements at no extra charge, while also dynamically linking your specs to other data on the platform. Set up a link once and get notified of changes while your traceability products are automatically updated (verification traceability matrices, e.g.). Gone are the days of exporting to CSV: if you need your requirements data in other tools, Violet can synchronize updates to the appropriate destinations.

Can my customer or partner organization access Violet Requirements?

Yes! Violet supports Guest Users, which grants your external collaborators read-access to requirements and the ability to view and add comments.

Instead of exporting your latest specs and posting that data to the customer's portal, just invite your stakeholders to Violet where they can directly collaborate!
