1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing, using a processor system, a three-dimensional (3D) model of a device-under-design (DUD);
receiving, using the processor system, design operations comprising a first design operation configured to be applied to a first feature of the 3D model of the DUD;
accessing, using the processor system, a collaboration dependency model comprising relationships between:
the design operations; and
features of the DUD; and
using the collaboration dependency model to make a prediction of a dependency relationship between:
the first design operation configured to be applied to the first feature of the 3D model of the DUD; and
one or more aspects of the 3D model of the DUD.
