Simulation Driven Design (SDD)

Have we made the transition to using simulation to drive design decisions? Chad Jackson shares some research that says we’re not quite there yet.

Is aerodynamic performance important for your product? If so, there’s a new, quick, easy way to analyze a design’s performance in a wind tunnel environment. In this video, Chad Jackson provides an overview of AirShaper #cloud based #CFD #engineering #analysis offering.

Can you incorporate fluid flow analysis into generative design? The answer is yes, and Chad Jackson is here to talk about how.

Generative Design uses a variety of algorithms to automatically produce mechanical designs. So in the worst case, it should deliver some kind of productivity boost, right? Well, according to Chad Jackson, it’s not that simple. Watch to get a little more insight on the hidden effort behind Generative Design.

As a pure-play PLM provider, you might think that Aras might not be investing heavily in engineering capabilities. That, however, would be incorrect. In this video, Chad Jackson talks about how Aras has invested in simulation and system engineering capabilities for Innovator.

Engineers are a first-hand witness to the accelerated product development cycles manufacturer’s face today. They have found ways to speed development and ensure products performance, primarily through simulation. Running simulations carries it own set of challenges: working with designs from suppliers that come in a wide array of CAD formats. Let’s review solutions available which …

Many of today’s PLM solutions are notably not focused on enhancing functionality to support engineering, instead focusing on capabilities for other aspects of this business. In this video, we talk about how Aras has invested in simulation and system engineering capabilities for Innovator.

A little while ago, Aras acquired Comet Solutions. At ACE, Aras’ user conference, we got a little more insight into the vision behind that acquisition. Here’s my review of that presentation.

A Simulation Driven Design initiative carries a lot of promise. Yet, there are some kinks that companies need to address before they can reasonably realize value. We review some of the biggest ones in this post.
