The conceptual design process is one of the most important and confusing in engineering design. The Integrated Design Exploration and Analysis (IDEA) process was created to help improve conceptual design practices in the industry. An analysis of existing methods was conducted in order to identify weaknesses. The IDEA process, along with a supporting software interface, was developed to rectify these weaknesses. The interface was written in the open source program Compendium. Three multi-disciplinary case studies were conducted to validate the process. The use of IDEA led to more and higher quality design concepts.
