CDP4-COMET is the new name for what was previously called the CDP4. We are transitioning the applications and software libraries. The code and documentation will still refer to CDP4 in a number of places while we are updating.
The CDP4-COMET Reports repository contains CDP4-COMET report definitions and templates that can be used by the CDP4-COMET Reporting plugin of the [COMET-IME]. The CDP4-COMET Reporting plugin is used to create in-app reports and budgets such as a Mass Budget and a Power Budget of a complex system such as a Satellite, Ship, or Vehicle.
The CDP4-COMET Integrated Modelling Environemnt (IME) Community Editition (CE) is the RHEA Group open source Concurrent Design desktop application and Microsoft Excel integration compliant with ECSS-E-TM-10-25 Annex A and Annex C. The CDP4-COMET-IME makes use of a plugin framework, the end-user functionality is implemented in CDP4-COMET plugins that are loaded at run-time. This makes it straightforward to package, distribute and update the environment.

The Concurrent Design method is an approach to design activities in which all design disciplines and stakeholders are brought together to create an integrated design in a collaborative way of working.
The Concurrent Design method brings many advantages to the early design phase by providing a structure for this otherwise chaotic phase. Many design concepts have been implemented in the Concurrent Design method to help a team of stakeholders perform their task. The design work is done in collocated sessions with all stakeholders involved and present, creating an integrated design and enabling good communication and exchange of information between team members.
