The dynamic behavior of complex systems is a well-known challenge
within engineering. The paper presents a Multiple-Domain Matrix base model for
the structure-based compilation of System Dynamics models for assessing
engineering design process behavior. Classically, dependency modelling
approaches are used to analyze the structure of a system such as the Design
Structure Matrix (DSM), the Domain Mapping Matrix (DMM) or the Multiple-
domain Matrix (Multiple-Domain Matrix) approaches. The major drawback of
these approaches is that they depict a static view on the system and are therefore
not suitable to model the dynamic behavior of complex systems. This paper
suggests combining the dependency and dynamic modelling approaches. Previous
results already show that on principle dynamic behavior can be deduced from
structural models. Consequently, we use a dependency modeling approach as a
basis for the compilation of a System Dynamics model to analyze the dynamic
behavior of engineering design processes. The approach offers the possibility of
design, flexibility and robustness analysis based on the underlying structure of
engineering design processes.
