But in the virtual world of design, components have to be abstracted into a range of models that can be used across the various design domains. In the real world, components are tangible objects and are, therefore, relatively easy to identify. So what exactly is a component and where are they stored?
The components are the basic building blocks of that product. The components and how they are connected are what creates your unique, electronic product. A Workspace provides secure high-integrity storage for component data, with the added benefits of lifecycle management and up to date supply chain information. A better and far more advanced solution to managing design component data is where components are hosted in and sourced from a connected Workspace.
