MBSE and Virtual Commissioning: Do the Two Intersect?
The engineers who design production systems are not strangers to complexity. This raises the question: Can systems engineering be applied to the development of production systems? Let’s explore how, by discussing systems engineering and model-based system engineering.
The Digital Thread: Is It Applicable to Virtual Commissioning?
Digitization is complicated. In this VirtualCommissioning.com post, we’ll explain and examine the emerging Digital Thread concept, investigate where the Digital Thread intersects virtual commissioning, the impact this concept has on organizations, and the opportunities a Digital Thread can bring to businesses.
Making the Case: MBSE versus Spreadsheets and Documents
While the set of practices called systems engineering are a boon to cross-disciplinary collaboration, technology has been slow to catch up. Without a new way to collaborate, engineers use tools familiar to them—spreadsheets and documents. But they no longer need to rely on those outdated tools.
Manufacturing Blog: Generative Design and Engineering Jobs
Good design is difficult. And with demands for more complex products, shorter schedules, and lower costs, it is only going to get harder.
These demands leave engineers with little or no opportunity for innovation. Fortunately, though, new and novel engineering tools could help you address these challenges. In this blog post, we’ll explore one of them: Generative design, artificial intelligence-based engineering software that has already begun to accelerate and disrupt the traditional design processes.
