Connecting the Digital Thread with the Digital Twin
Today’s forward-looking organizations are using both digital threads and digital twins. Yet, many traditional digital thread platforms are not optimized for a company’s success. Implementing an integrated digital twin and digital thread strategy based on a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution is a better option. Then organizations can connect with and use information in new ways to drive business and …
ANSYS’s Twin Builder allows companies to create hybrid digital twins to improve product performance and design better products.
In engineering, it is very typical to go from digital to physical. Engineers create digital mockups of their ideas in a 3D CAD solution, then use those mockups to create physical products. Manufacturers do not often consider the reverse process, however. Physical products can be turned into valuable digital models, and 3D scanning allows engineers to do just that. Going …

PTC Moves Core Applications to Atlas: What’s the Big Deal?
PTC has announced that their core solutions are going to be migrated over to Atlas, the cloud-based platform that Onshape runs on. What are the implications? What are the opportunities? Well, we’re going to talk about that next. The Implications and Opportunities for PTC Okay, so let’s talk about what are the implications and opportunities for PTC as they move …
Ordering and testing a prototype is a key milestone in the development of printed circuit boards (PCB). That prototype is necessary to validate the design and test its performance. But this step can be daunting for many engineering teams. Ordering a PCB Prototype, a Critical Step Ordering a PCB prototype isn’t as simple as it seems. Each supplier has its …
Product-centric and platform-modularity approaches are common methods used to develop products. For companies with only one product, the product-centric approach works well. However, manufacturers with a family of products utilize product line engineering for increased efficiency. Developing products with a platform-modularity approach brings a host of benefits. Introduction to a Platform-Modularity Approach For many companies, the days of manufacturing and …
