In today's accelerated industrial and engineering processes, timely, fast, and best-fit decisions are essential to produce successful technical solutions and products. In this context, conceptual design can be understood as a series of decisions that affect the state of the entire life cycle of the designed system. One of the main goals of this paper is to support this series of decisions and to create a description of the concept development space model.
