The Democratization of Simulation with Intelligent Templates
Realizing the Full Benefits of Simulation
An “Intelligent Template” is an innovative concept in product development that focuses on the automation of simulation processes across a product family. The template leverages the common functional architecture across the product family using a concept called the Abstract Model. This functional model of the product family is independent of a particular instance of the product design and of its geometry. The template captures the simulation best practices of the organization and enforces them when it is executed on a particular instance of the product design.
Experts must create the templates, but non-experts can use them reliably.
