When, where and how information is captured, stored and accessed is critical when launching a digital simulation initiative. Companies can build sophisticated data warehouses, utilize off-the-shelf software solutions but often rely on the expert knowledge of their well-trained engineers. Regardless of how it is stored, companies must understand the importance of having a successful infrastructure in place to manage the information. How do companies manage information while navigating a sea of regulations? How do you prevent loss of valuable intellectual capital should senior team members leave? The speakers in this session will address the complexities involved in managing the information surrounding all digital simulation projects and discuss how they overcame the challenges.

While regulations are one critical driver of safety analysis and testing, financial considerations, competition and public interest also contribute to a company’s quest to design and develop safe products. Simulation technologies allow manufacturers to design more complex and accurate safety validation programs that deliver more valuable data necessary to resolve potentially fatal flaws in manufacturing. How is digital simulation being incorporated into the design process? Does it eliminate the need for physical testing to analyze safety? Speakers in this session will share their experiences using simulation technologies to test the safety of automobiles. This session includes discussion of advanced automotive systems including electronic controlled systems, by-wire systems, and hybrid systems. Simulation and modeling can help significantly in supporting system safety activities including hazard analysis in identifying safety requirements for these advanced systems.

The performance of a product is in many cases the most important factor setting it apart from its competition. Using physical prototypes is costly, time consuming and ineffective when it comes to factoring in unique scenarios that may not be reproducible within a test environment. Digital simulation allows companies to measure performance and product quality like never before while avoiding much of the cost and time involved in physical testing. The speakers in this session showcase how their use of digital simulation technology has led to the development of innovative product enhancements and improved the quality and safety of existing features.
