Abstract : Industrial products complexity growth in the 21st century means developed systems have an ever-growing number of interfaces with other systems of various nature. Design teams must consider these interfaces when developing their System of Interest (SoI), with sometime little to no knowledge of the boundary systems. This article presents the first results of an experimentation to assess whether access to the design rationale of said boundary systems impacts the quality and ease of development for design teams. We designed a fictitious use case and asked 12 teams of novice designers to propose a solution within a limited time frame. Using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) framework, we evaluate through 8 criteria from the literature the impact of the access to cross-system design rationale on the quality of their solution. Their individual perception of the task is also evaluated , along with a discussion on future work.MOTS CLES : conception, biomimétique, freins, solution, usage, recherche.
