Surprising how time flies by isn’t it. Here we are, now in March of 2011 and I’m thinking to myself “how did that happen?” Feeling the need to catch up, I called a friend of mine here in Austin and went to grab a drink. We spent a while catching up but soon enough, our conversation steered towards shop-talk. See, he’s an been deploying lean, six sigma and other similar initiatives for years. And what he said surprised me a bit.

- Design Domains
- Initiatives
- Digitalization and the Digital ThreadFocuses on efforts to define and manage a complete, digital definition of the product throughout development. Acts as an overarching super-initiative for other model-based efforts.
- Agile for HardwareIncludes the application of agile principles to the design of mechanical, electrical, and electronic hardware
- IoT and the Digital TwinInclusive of efforts to connect products to the Internet of Things and develop Digital Twins mirroring their operation
- Simulation Driven Design (SDD)Targets initiatives to use simulation early and throughout development to help engineers make better, more informed design decisions
- Generative Design and 3D PrintingCovers the application of generative design and 3D printing technologies in the design of mechanical, electrical, and electronic hardware
- MBE and MBDModel-Based Enterprise (MBE) initiatives concentrate on the use of a Model-Based Definition (MBD), annotated 3D model, instead of a 2D Drawing throughout companies’ development processes
- MBSDModel-Based Software Development (MBSD) details efforts to use of progressive 1D simulations to verify that embedded software runs on target electronic hardware
- MBSEModel-Based System Engineering (MBSE) covers the development of a single, unambiguous, digital definition of systems acting as the coordination point for all engineering domains
- Virtual CommissioningVirtual Commissioning covers the use of simulation to plan, design, test, and install production systems
