Features
Broad enough to connect the disciplines, deliberate enough to keep the engineering model usable. From the first requirement to the evidence you hand over.
01 Model
Capture requirements, functions and interfaces first, then realise them on ECUs, connectors, wires and networks. Every allocation and every realised interface stays linked to the intent it serves.
02 Decide
A constraint solver proposes allocations and routes against the capacities, costs and limits already in your model. You review every proposal before it is applied, and every limit reports what the proposal attained against it.
03 Defend
Verification findings, trace coverage, revision history and the engineering BOM stay attached to the decision. Publish through open standards and documents, with a receipt of what was exchanged.
04 Capabilities
Each capability reads and writes the same model, so a change in one place is visible everywhere it matters.
Components, ports, interfaces and reusable definitions in a SysML v2-aligned metamodel. Views, detail levels and a table editor keep designs with hundreds of blocks workable.
Requirement sheets, trace links, suspect flags when a linked element changes, and model checks you can write yourself.
Nodes, connectors and wires across electrical, data, hydraulic and cooling media, with a calibrated drawing scale for real wire lengths.
Signals, codings, frames and per-direction bus load, with the caveats shown whenever an input could not be resolved.
Allocation, routing, bounds, resilience and Pareto sweeps. Proposals are reviewed and applied by you, never silently.
A hardware BOM that follows the physical topology, with software allocation in context and an Excel workbook for sourcing.
Every change recorded with who, what and when. Baselines to return to, and working sets to explore a variant apart and bring it back.
Imports open a preview first and outputs run a preflight. Every exchange leaves a receipt of what was sent, received and warned about.
05 AI copilot & agent API
The copilot reads and edits the model with your permissions, cites the elements it used, and records every change it makes. It uses your own AI provider key, and the provider bills you directly.
Answers drawn from the model, with links to the elements behind them.
A reviewable change set you inspect before anything is written.
Applies the plan after capturing a project baseline you can restore.
Drive the same tools over MCP with a personal access token.
06 Exchange formats
D3rive complements established engineering tools. It exchanges through open standards, SysML v2 and ReqIF, plus workbooks, reports and its own project bundle, and it keeps a receipt of every exchange.
| Format | What it carries | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| SysML v2 | Definitions, parts, ports, connections and interfaces in textual notation | Import and export |
| ReqIF | Requirements and their attributes, for requirements-management tools | Import and export |
| Excel workbook | BOM, requirement, allocation and network tables | Export |
| HTML & Word report | A composed stakeholder report with diagrams, tables and your commentary | Export |
| Project bundle (.orcp) | The whole model as human-readable text, for backup, cloning and hand-off | Import and export |
Trial and Pro exports carry a watermark notice; nothing is removed and every file still opens in the receiving tool. Import and export are included in every edition.
