What are metric attributes?

Metric attributes are quantitative characteristics of individual units in a concept structure. They allow you to rate and score product concepts.

You can add, calculate and compare actual and target values of concept metrics like cost, weight, and compliance, to decide on product concepts suitable to your company's product strategy and requirements.

To view these predefined attributes in the Metrics attribute group view of the concept structure, you must first roll up or recalculate the metrics.

Target attributes are product design goals broken down from concept-level to component-level metrics, that allow design engineers to plan design goals in specific categories.

You must manually assign target attributes on each level as required.
