BuyDesign Configurator Core Engine
The core configuration engine processes the rules, constraints and associated data in BuyDesign product models based on inputs from the user interface or other applications to provide the following functions:
- Guided product selection helps users identify and select the product(s) that best fit their needs.
- Product configuration helps users understand and select available features, options, and dimensions while ensuring they define a valid product. Features include:
- Multi-level configuration
- Variable processing based on user role, location, or task
- Dynamic presentation of options based on previous selections
- Global options for rapid configuration and mass change of related items
- Real-time integration with enterprise data and business logic
- Product pricing ensures an accurate price and/or cost for any given configuration. Highly flexible calculations can use any combination of factors associated with the product, selected options, and the customer, dealer, region, and a wide range of other factors.

- Real-time product visualization brings your products to life by providing immediate visual reference and confirmation at the product, feature, and option levels. Visualization options include static images, as well as dynamically generated drawings, 3D CAD models, and images.
- Output Generation dramatically reduces the effort to create documents and data required to sell or manufacture the configured product. Outputs include dynamically generated documents, drawings, 3D CAD models, and manufacturing data such as part numbers, BOMs and routings.
