Systems pre‐sizing involving several technical fields is generally based on a method where up‐going validation phases follow down‐going analysis phases. Meanwhile, the usual tools, when they exist, are often optimised to work in a single way. The Constraint Satisfaction Solving Method (CSSM) introduces a technique, which fulfil the needs of preliminary design, putting aside the notions of “input” and “output“. Moreover, Constraint modelling is a way to ensure the consistency between the different technical fields. A simplified example illustrates the problem on the Weapon Delivery and Navigation System of a military aircraft, underlining the many capabilities of the method. As a conclusion a feedback on its introduction at Dassault Aviation's Systems Directorate is presented and specifications for a Constraints Models Managing tool are introduced.
