A Visual Tour of the Digital Thread
The vision of the digital thread is simple. Understanding it is not. This eBook visually walks through the creation of a Model-Based Definition in engineering and through all its uses throughout a company.
Enabling Supplier Collaboration With The Right Tools
Many companies are conflicted about collaborating with suppliers. It is critical to spur innovation. Yet, done incorrectly, it can expose intellectual property. This eBook compares and contrasts several technological approaches to enabling IP secure supplier collaboration.
Automating Processes across the Development Cycle
Digital transformation isn’t just about managing a holistic definition of the product. It includes running, managing, and automating digital processes. This eBook introduces and compares a variety of technological approaches for this kind of initiative.
Harmonizing Development in Engineering and the Enterprise
Digital transformation starts in engineering with the creation and management of a complete digital product definition.This eBook introduces and compares a variety of technological approaches for such an effort.
Accelerating Board Systems Development with Pervasive Simulation
Respins are costly, both in terms of time and money. This eBook shares findings from our most recent study that shows board verification and simulation pay off in a big way.
Model-Based Definition Powering the Digital Twin
A complete digital representation of the product delivers benefits throughout product development. Chad Jackson gives an orientation on the intersection of Digital Transformation initiatives and Model-Based Definitions, powering the use of Digital Twins.
