Business Drivers
The worldwide business environment is seeing a strong focus on strategic goals for improving competitiveness
Business DriversThe Role of Engineering Simulation is becoming a key enabler of strategic goals for improving competitiveness
• Increase Innovation• Increase Quality• Reduce Risk• Reduce Time• Reduce Cost
Generative Design
A Simulation Revolution is needed
A Simulation Revolution is needed• The demand for software tools for Engineering Simulation is
exploding to support the need for• increased competitiveness • rapidly growing complexity of products, processes, and
systems.• New requirements/applications for Engineering Simulation
are emerging (e.g. Digital Twins)• The Engineering Simulation market growth is limited due to
lack of expertise available• Engineering Simulation is still done primarily by specialized
Analysts
A Simulation Revolution is needed
• Business Drivers are going to force a “revolution”
• Engineering Simulation will be forced to find a way
Generative Design
A Simulation Revolution is needed• The demand is not going away • A Simulation Revolution will
occur:• “Model-Based”• “Fit for purpose”• “Integrated”• “Smart” • “Transparent” / “Invisible”• “Generative”• “….”• CULTURE CHANGE
Expertise AvailableExpertise RequiredMCAE Market Trends
A Simulation Revolution is needed
• The Simulation Revolution is about making Engineering Simulation widely available & appropriate to support improved decision making throughout the entire life-cycle of the ever-increasing complexity of engineered products and processes

Simulation Plays a Key Role in Each Group
Innovation and Competitive Business Advantage
• Innovation• Feeds off of the knowledge of a company• Is based on sharing knowledge and wisdom across different
domain groups and organizational boundaries• Is generally associated with the development of new products• and services• Is generally the result of a series of incremental improvements• Results from well-managed, disciplined business processes---it
is not accidental!“Invention is 1% inspiration versus 99% perspiration”
--- Thomas Edison
Innovation and Competitive Business Advantage
• People, Processes and Technology define the foundation for creativity andinnovation– Technology makes it feasible– People and their Processes make
it successful!• Balancing and aligning these
elements with the Business Strategy• results in a Competitive Business
Advantage

Product Design Cycle Begins
• Trial & Error• Disconnected from Requirements
Design Value Devel ~3 yrs
Analysis Validation ~4 yrs
New Product Development Cycle ~5-9 yrs
It can take longer to develop an all-new structural material than it takes to develop a new airplane – So designers have to rely on last-generation materials!

• The “Digital Twin” approach will dramatically increase the demand for Engineering Simulation• “What good is a Digital Twin if you
cannot evaluate its performance virtually?” - Fouad El Khaldi, ESI Group
Enabling the Next Generation of Simulation
Enabling the Next Generation of Simulation
• The first generation of Engineering Simulation is nearing an end!
• NOW, “ A New First Generation of Engineering Simulation” is beginning.
• We need to define collectively, a unified vision and roles to enable the Simulation Revolution in the coming decades.
• We must rethink the industry!

Enabling the Next Generation of Simulation
• Form alliances to develop harmonized visions for Engineering Simulation across industry, academia, government, professional organizations, and CAx vendors.
Need to implement “win-win” collaborative business scenarios for all!
Enabling the Next Generation of Simulation
• Develop next generation Engineering Simulation environments for collaborative modeling, analysis/optimization, immersive man-machine interactions, common visualizers, and standards-based cognitive knowledge sharing systems for experiencing real-time multi-physical responsesimulations.
Realistic simulation of problems at the speed of human thought should be our vision!
Enabling the Next Generation of Simulation
• Change our culture and enrich our pipeline of expertise in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) domains, beginning with preschoolers, through college, and beyond retirement; including skill/competency metrics, career growth training, communities of practice,etc.
Sexy simulation environments will define the destiny of the CAx industry!
