Our focus
requirement engineering
Create concise, highly structured, parsable design specifications with the Elephant Specification language and automatically derive architecture models.
system architecting
Visualize and analyze system architectures with dependency structure matrix methods such as clustering and sequencing.
conceptual design
Compare and visualize the architectural differences between design concepts and future system generations.
product family design
Find the similarities and commonalities between products in a diverse product portfolio and create product families.
The core of Ratio methods
At Ratio we offer solutions for modeling and structuring function and design requirement information. At the heart of our tooling stands a computer-readable specification language, which enables users to write highly structured multi-level requirement documents and automatically derives dependencies between components, (function and design) requirements, variables, and combinations thereof. By visualizing these dependencies in interactive multi-disciplinary dependency structure matrices (DSM) we enable the user to get a firm grip on the network of multi-disciplinary design dependencies within a system. Thereby, reducing costly and lengthy delays due to integration issues.
Step 1: describe your systems with the Elephant Specification Language.
Step 2: automatically derive and visualize the system architecture.
Step 3: analyze the system architecture with clustering and sequencing algorithms.
Step 4: improve the system architecture and repeat steps one to four.
