  The Global Design Effort (GDE) for the International Linear Collider (ILC) is currently preparing the Technical Design Report (TDR), which will be released at the end of 2012 and will serve as the basis for a decision process. The TDR will be written based on the Technical Design Documentation (TDD), which captures the entire design efforts, results and rationale, including e. g. parameter lists, specifications, CAD models and drawings, cost estimation, simulations and calculations, and summary reports. Formal review meetings help making the documentation complete, correct and consistent. The TDD is stored in an Engineering Data Management System (EDMS), which ensures that it remains accessible beyond the GDE in an organized way and at a well-defined location. The EDMS provides traceability (e. g. from design decisions to corresponding cost estimates), version management and change control. The poster presents the process and tools that were established for the organization of the TDD and provides an overview of the emerging documentation.

  The design of a detector for a high-energy physics experiment is a complex task, driven by two different communities: The scientists aim to optimize the detector performance, while engineers are tasked to provide a design that can actually be built. Both groups have their own specific tools (e.g. GEANT versus 3D CAD systems) that are employed to model the detector and improve its design. The ensuing models need to be compared and synchronized at regular intervals, so that optimizations made to the physics simulation model are propagated to the engineering world, and engineering solutions are reflected properly in the physics simulation. Based on experience from the European XFEL project, DESY is providing tools and processes for establishing this synchronization at a very early stage in the design of the International Large Detector (ILD) for the International Linear Collider (ILC). They have been used to analyze compliance and differences of the ILD engineering design and physics simulation models. The poster introduces tools and process and presents first results and lessons learned.
