Quite a long time ago, I remember the first time I visited a hard-core simulation analyst’s group. It was at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and I, fresh out of college, was showing them some new simulation technology. There were lots of questions and conversations that day. But first and foremost in my memory, I remember the… well… reverence some of the other engineers had for these simulation analysts. They were the unequivocal experts. Their authority was unquestionable. They were on a pedestal.

- 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
