Purpose

This document describes the general methods and procedures that will be used to perform and document all analyses and calculations performed for system design and development. All engineering analyses shall adhere to the guidelines and methods outlined within this document. Analyses not directly related to system design (e.g. cost estimates, safety and mission assurance, and 3-D visualization) are outside the scope of this document. To ask questions or make suggestions about this standard or to request a variance to it, please refer to the Standardization Document Improvement Proposal at the end of the document.

Background

Analysis products generated in accordance with this document are intended to become the analyses of record. This document establishes uniform procedures to be followed to perform and fully document all hand and computer analyses. This standard was created to reduce variation, promote consistent methods among analysts, and facilitate error checking.
