Abstract/Summary: Aircraft industry and especially design activities have been impacted since recent years with the advent of numeric techniques. The parallel development of solutions around this computational approach makes that today both activities of design on CAX tools and data management operations are not efficiently connected. In this context, the Digital Mock Up (DMU) can be identified as a reference for partnership and can enable the link in between activities. This paper proposes to explore the current issues on CAX and data management association through the different aspects of partnership and multiactivity integration. The overall objective is to highlight the integration of both activities around a common reference identified as the DMU.
