What Is Business Challenges & ROI?

Business Challenges with expanding the Use of Engineering Simulation

Engineering Simulation is a major key for multiple business drivers by providing better understanding of product and process behavior, variability and risk. However, Engineering Simulation software is still typically used only by expert analysts and we need to expand the usage to a broader audience.

The changing role of Engineering Simulation is really about business drivers for improved competitiveness:

  1.  Increase Innovation
  2. Increase Performance
  3. Improve Quality/Risk
  4. Management  Reduce Time
  5. Reduce Cost.

Engineering Simulation is a major key to all 5 business drivers in providing better understanding of product and process behavior, variability and risk. These business drivers are going to force a “Simulation Revolution”.

How to Get Started with Simulation Process and Data Management

The objective of this book is to provide prudent, actionable, vendor independent, information and best-practices on how to approach an SDM project and achieve a first successful SDM deployment as well as identifying pitfalls to avoid based on facts and data from 20 years of SDM project experiences.

Aras Blog: The Digital Twin Time Machine

If you capture a product’s configuration correctly, you have context―which enables you to create traceability. In essence you have created the Digital Twin time machine. The context of the Digital Twin, supported by digital thread data, and analysis tools like simulation or analytics, allows you to move backwards and forwards for any product or system of products.

A Revolution in Healthcare with Simulation

Watch this video to get an overview of how ANSYS simulation is helping medical device and pharmaceutical companies save lives by using in silico tests to safely develop innovative devices and treatment methods in virtual human laboratories. Learn how simulation leads to an incredibly high return on investment for these companies, and how regulatory agencies like the FDA are starting to allow simulation data to be used as part of a faster approval process.

Systems Engineering Challenges for Management

This presentation was given at the NAFEMS Americas 2018 conference CAASE18 in Cleveland, OH, USA (see also www.nafems.org/caase18). This topic was also presented and discussed at COE 2018, April 15-18, 2018, San Diego, CA, USA as well as at NAFEMS "Engineering Analysis & Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Creating the Next Generation Vehicle"; November 8, 2018; Troy, MI, USA.

Engineering simulations – key for SMEs to unlock Industry 4.0

Traditional ways of work simply aren't any more sustainable and effective, because the still ongoing technological revolution is reshaping all products and services that have been made before, giving place to new ones, even new concepts, and work titles.

ANSYS Discovery Live: Geometry & Simulation of Stent Design

Biomedical engineers design stents to open or prevent blockages in arteries. They must consider and optimize a number of design parameters to ensure a stent has the flexibility to withstand localized forces, and the structural integrity to retain its artery-opening shape. Watch video of Ansys Discovery Live being used for geometry and simulation of stent designs.

How Simulation Is Managed at Embraer

Before SPDM was implemented, the simulation process suffered from a lack of traceability, difficulty in reproducing results, no version control, a slow execution and little security. Embraer started using SPDM software called SimManager by MSC Software, the company best known for the most commercially successful version of NASTRAN (conceived at NASA), de rigueur at every established aerospace firm.

Connecting Simulation to the Digital Thread

Simulation has often been disconnected from the rest of the development process, struggling with traceability and the ability to provide meaningful feedback in a timely manner. Watch this demonstration as it shows how a user of the Aras Innovator digital thread platform can use simulation to evaluate the performance of a design as it progresses, and how the results of simulations are tied back to Requirements to do closed-loop Verification and Validation at every stage of the product lifecycle.

Benefit from digital twins at any IoT maturity

In a commissioned study of IoT decision makers conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Siemens in May 2019, respondents of varied IoT maturity levels recognized that digital twins can continuously improve their product offerings and improve product quality.

Why digital twins will be the backbone of industry in the future

For industry and the internet of things (#IoT), digital twins, offering virtual representations of real-world products will be the innovation backbone of the future. Entire systems can be simulated and tested long before a physical prototype has been built. Even operation of existing systems can be further optimized using a #DigitalTwin. Imagine the extraordinary possibilities merging them with artificial intelligence (#AI). Industry experts for digital twins are already using all these possibilities in concrete applications.

The Role of Digital Twins in De-Risking Offshore Operations: The Search for ‘Zero Dive’

Manned diving operations are a necessary part of maintaining offshore oil and gas assets, but also a very costly and dangerous process. With new technological developments such as Digital Twins, could a future where divers no longer have to work on offshore rigs be in sight? Umar Ali explores the potential of ‘zero dive.’
