Companies are increasingly looking to tech-led initiatives to grapple with rising product complexity. Lifecycle Insights recognizes this and is deepening its coverage of such initiatives for product design and engineering. To aid in this effort, we are welcoming industry veteran Arvind Krishnan to our team. Arvind brings over two decades of experience in design and analysis for mechanical and electronic …
High-performance computing (HPC). Artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning (ML). The cloud. Individually, these transformative technologies pack a powerful punch. Now, some companies are combining them with simulation to revolutionize product development. Continuing Platformification of Solutions Many of today’s simulation and data analytics tools are experiencing “platformification,” where traditional desktop applications are broken down into separate chunks of functionality that are …
Do we need another collaboration tool for mechanical design? Let’s talk about CCE’s EnSuite-Cloud ReVue. It really is focused on enabling mechanical design collaboration. There are a couple of these types of tools that are out there. But this is a really interesting one, especially in the context of the pandemic. Everybody is working from home nowadays. It is the …
What is Siemens PCBflow offering and why does it matter? Recently, Siemens, specifically the Valor group within Siemens, has come out with a new solution called PCBflow.
