Faster time-to-money, lower warranty costs, market-dominating products, satisfied customers—all these are CAE's proven, albeit under-recognized, benefits. Given CAE's impact on product innovation, these solutions should be an essential, mainstream, in-line tool for product design—yet they aren't in many companies. This presentation will share Daratech's latest research on why this deployment is not happening as quickly as it might, and the challenges and obstacles — cultural, organizational and technological — faced by those working towards greater integration of simulation and test technologies into the mainstream of product creation. This session will also examine the main suppliers to this market, their vision for the future, and their outlook for success, stability and growth.

CAE is such a vital element of a successful PLM strategy that one could wonder how PLM could exist without it. Digital simulation provides a wealth of valuable information enabling companies to design and develop products that outlast and outperform any that came before. Manufacturers also have growing confidence in the results generated by CAE, leaving CAE now poised to become the growth engine of PLM. But what challenges do manufacturers face when they integrate CAE with their PLM infrastructure? How do different functional areas work together to provide an integrated view of PLM? Speakers in this session present their views on building a CAE-centric PLM infrastructure and how they have overcome numerous challenges to achieve successful integration.

Virtual product development (VPD) is the coordinated application of people, processes, and technologies to empower product development teams to enhance innovation and accelerate the product development process. VPD leverages a manufacturer's existing investments in design and simulation software, computing hardware, and physical testing to create an enterprise-wide product development environment. The presentations in this session highlight how the efficient application of VPD allows engineering teams to: explore all aspects of the design using digital prototypes; understand the sensitivities of the design with robust design methods; collaborate among the different design and development teams; and continuously improve product performance and the development process.

Many of the most important decisions about a product's design and development are made in the earliest stages of the lifecycle. It is an accepted fact that 80% of the product cost is designed in during the first 20% of the design and development process. Consequently the product development process will be more successful when digital simulation is incorporated from the beginning—and the advantages recognized as early as possible. How are manufacturers reengineering their processes to leverage new tools and methodologies? Speakers in this session will discuss how they have used simulation technology from product inception and how that has made a difference in the overall design process.
