Finally , with the capability to virtually integrate components and their associated data , comprehensive evaluation of the entire build became possible . Key metrics such as total required power and overall weight can now be calculated . Additionally , build requirements were digitally captured as rules .
For example , requirements like having at least two USB ports or 256 gigabytes of memory are encoded as rules and evaluated against the build using a rule engine . These rules can be created and edited as necessary and are organized into rule sets that can be easily turned on or off during the build process . Figure 3-4 shows a screenshot of the HHITS workbench .
