Siemens’ Executable Digital Twin
Over the past few years, the digital twin (DT) has gained popularity. Yet, DT has different meanings for different vendors and, as a result, manufacturers are still trying to understand its usefulness. Will Siemens’ executable digital twin (xDT) prove to be any different? Baselining the Digital Twin The DT is a digital representation of a physical product. But the contents …

Oracle: Moving PLM to the Cloud
What does Oracle’s move to the cloud have to do with PLM? Why is it important? A few years ago, Oracle started to transition a lot of its enterprise systems into the cloud. They’ve had a PLM solution for a while. They acquired one many years ago and it’s certainly capable. There’s no doubt about that. There are some interesting …
Why is Cadonix interesting from an electrical design perspective? Let’s talk about that next. Before we get into the details, it’s important to understand the context here. We’re talking about the design of electrical systems, which carries signals between electronic endpoints and delivers power to them, so they can run. We’re not talking about EE systems architecture, which is figuring …
There has been a proliferation of high-speed, high-frequency electronics placed in today’s smart connected products over the past few years. This increases the need for electromagnetic (EM) simulation in design. Ansys HFSS, a 3D high-frequency simulation software, meets the industry’s stringent demands. Simulation Overcomes Challenges in Designing Smart, Connected Products Today’s smart, connected products are everywhere and they increasingly rely …

nCode DesignLife: Predicting Fatigue Life
Across the automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries, complex products often need to be lightweight while also meeting stringent lifecycle durability requirements. But it can be a challenge to determine whether products meet such requirements during the design phase. Conducting fatigue analysis using nCode DesignLife can help organizations virtually predict how long products will last before committing to a physical …
As part of technology-led initiatives, many engineering organizations have adopted both simulation and product lifecycle management (PLM) to help drive and optimize product development efforts. Today, these companies often must rely on a variety of simulation products to meet their needs. Yet, engineering change orders (ECOs), which can come from any step in the product lifecycle, can be more efficiently …
