CIMdata Publishes New Simulation Paper

By DE Editors

CIMdata has published a new paper (The Democratization of Simulation with Intelligent Templates: Realizing the Full Benefits of Simulation) on the potential for intelligent templates to become an enabler for product development systems, allowing the delivery of higher quality products in much less time.

Intelligent templates present an innovative concept in product development that focuses on a reusable framework for managing product information and simulations of product performance. Simulation is made available to a wider audience of product developers, in a reliable way that does not require them to be experts in specific simulation applications. The templates define best-practice workflows that can be executed using information contained in the abstract model and its associated product and process data. Experts must create the templates, but non-experts can use them reliably.  

According to the company, the concept of intelligent templates is "not simply an evolutionary improvement in the way most companies approach product design and simulation; it represents an entirely different paradigm. It is a systems engineering approach to model-driven design that both demands and fosters systems thinking and collaboration."

The paper is derived from a keynote presentation made by Malcolm Panthaki, vice president of customer success, CTO, and founder of Comet Solutions, at CIMdatas PLM Road Map conference last year.
