1. A method for iteratively designing a gas turbine engine part, the method comprising, with at least one computing device:
- generating a neutral file including information related to an initial design of the gas turbine engine part, wherein the neutral file is constructed based on a first GUI-generated reusable module and the neutral file comprises data representing user knowledge relating to the initial design;
conducting an analysis of the initial design using a second GUI-generated reusable module, the data in the neutral file, and module actions recorded in the second reusable module, wherein the module actions are captured by a program-by-GUI technique; and
presenting a result of the analysis.

Abstract
A neutral file generally includes information related to a object of development. The neutral file may be based on a reusable module. The neutral file may pass information between reusable modules. A computer may conduct an analysis using the reusable module and information in the neutral file. The computer may display the result of the analysis on an external device.

12. A system for iteratively designing a part for a gas turbine engine, the system comprising:
-
a first computer, including a generation section, structured to generate a first GUI-generated reusable module which includes module actions captured by a program-by-GUI technique, wherein the first GUI-generated reusable module comprises information for an object of development, the first computer, including an input/output section, further structured to upload a first GUI-generated reusable module over a computer network to a server, the server is operatively coupled to a database to store the first GUI-generated reusable module, the server, including a web interface, structured to provide the first GUI-generated reusable module over the computer network; and a second computer, including an input/output section, structured to download at least one of the first GUI-generated reusable module and a second GUI-generated reusable module through the web interface, the second computer, including a calculation section, structured to perform a calculation using the second GUI-generated reusable module and a neutral file, wherein the neutral file is structured to pass data through use of the first GUI-generated reusable module to the second GUI-generated reusable module. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for iteratively designing a part for a gas turbine engine, the method comprising:
-
storing a plurality of reusable modules in one or more databases; providing, with a server having a web interface section, the reusable modules to a computer through a web interface; maintaining, with the server, a plurality of attributes relating to the reusable modules in the database; linking substantially all of the reusable modules across an organization in the one or more databases based on the attributes; and displaying a portion of the database, including at least one of the reusable modules, on an external device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
