Research Tools

Cambridge Advanced Modeller (previously known as P3) is a software tool for building and analysing models of complex systems. Its strength lies in customisability, allowing users to address specific modelling needs.
Toolboxes provide functionality to develop and analyse models using a range of standard methods. Meta-modelling and a modular architecture allow customisation.

Developed by the NASA Langley Research Center, DeMAID is a knowledge-based software tool for ordering the sequence of design processes and identifying a possible multilevel structure for a design cycle. DeMAID uses and displays the processes in a Design Structure Matrix notation.

A DSM Excel macro that performs partitioning, tearing, banding, and simulation. Both the original and an updated version are available including comprehensive documentation.

This short algorithm lets you use MatLab to cluster DSMs. You do need a valid installation of MatLab to run the macro. Unformtunately, no further documentation is available.
