Next Design Next Design can be used as a dedicated design tool by adapting the "meta-model," which defines the structure and relationship of design information for each process, and the "view definition," which is a diagram and document representation for expressing the meta-model, to the viewpoints and applications of the development site. This allows the use of specifications and design tools that were previously expressed in Word/Excel or UML/SysML. This enables design methods and processes unique to the development site, such as specifications and design documents that have been expressed in Word/Excel or UML/SysML, to be organized and converted into tools, and enables the sharing of design data across the organization while maintaining traceability. Since its launch in 2020, it has been widely used not only in the automotive industry but also in various industries such as electrical equipment.

The latest version, Next Design v2.0, provides a unique Git merge tool for more flexible distributed development. It also allows users to load only a portion of data and start working without stress, even on large projects. Furthermore, it has evolved with a number of additional features to provide stronger support for large-scale development sites, including the addition of a floating license for more flexible operations.
