METAMODELING
Model your system the way you think about it.
Define your own object types and relationships. Every schema is typed, validated, and reusable across programs.
Head of Systems Engineering
Every dependency. Every decision. One traceable graph.
Koddex gives systems engineers a living model of their product: requirements, components, tests, and revisions, explicitly linked and always consistent.
- 01
Requirements drift silently. You write requirements in Confluence or Word. Components evolve in CAD. Nobody maintains the link. Coverage gaps only surface during verification, or customer reviews.
- 02
Impact analysis takes days. A change request arrives. You spend two days tracing which subsystems are affected, which tests need rerunning, which docs need updating. Manually.
- 03
The model and the reality diverge. Your MBSE model is kept up to date by one expert. The actual system configuration lives in Excel. They disagree. You find out when it matters most.

3/3 linked
REQUIREMENTS TRACEABILITY
From requirement to test. No gaps.
Link requirements to components, verification methods, and test results. Query coverage at any level of the hierarchy.
IMPACT ANALYSIS
Change one thing. Know everything it touches.
Before committing a revision, trace the full propagation path through the system graph.
Rev A
→Rev B
→Rev C
→Rev D
REVISIONS
Freeze. Branch. Evolve. Without losing history.
Every revision is linked to its predecessor. Full lineage, always intact. No folder naming conventions required.

- 1.DOORS handles requirements traceability within its own module structure, but linking to components and tests in external tools requires integration configuration.
- 2.DOORS maintains module baselines and version history, scoped to its requirements data.
- 3.Flow Engineering versions requirements within its graph model, not across a full multi-domain system.
