Session M1A1: Simulation, Test, Analysis in PLM and Digital Manufacturing: The Coming Inflexion Points
Daratech will share its latest research and forecasts on today's unprecedented opportunities to revolutionize product development, through mainstream, in-line deployment of simulation and testing techniques, technologies and processes within the context of PLM and digital manufacturing. With PLM initiatives now underway at many manufacturing OEMs and suppliers and given their interest in digital manufacturing, the moment seems right for simulation and test to become fully integrated with mainstream product creation processes. This presentation will examine why this deployment is not happening as quickly as it might, and the challenges and obstacles — cultural, organizational and technological — facing those that are working towards greater deployment and integration of simulation and test technologies into the mainstream of product creation. This session will also examine the main suppliers to this market, and their vision for the future, and their outlook for success, stability and growth.

Session M1P1: Managing Tradeoffs and Mitigating Risk in Product Development: Leveraging Integration of Digital Simulation with Physical Test
Balancing trade-offs between digital simulation and physical test, improving correlation between the two, and making the physical test itself more intelligent are all ways to drive out cost and mitigate product development risk. What advances have been made in the technologies and processes that support these initiatives? What payoffs are manufacturers realizing and what challenges are standing in the way? This session will explore the best approaches to optimize digital simulation and physical test.

Session M1P2: The Role of Upfront CAE
Many companies are scrutinizing their product development processes to identify ways to improve efficiencies, and one of the places they are finding gains is in and around the early product design phase. Some see an opportunity in increasingly intuitive analysis toolsets and are having their designers do more of the upfront analysis. How are manufacturers reengineering their processes to leverage these new tools and methodologies? Subsequently, if designers are able to perform more complex analysis functions, will analysis as a specialized function become obsolete? How do the choices differ for OEMs versus suppliers? Speakers in this session will debate their strategies and the impact of their decisions.
