Adopting multidisciplinary design for integrated collaboration
When mechanical, electrical and software design teams are siloed, there is a lack of visibility, communication gaps, slower decision-making, errors, and delays. When not addressed, these issues lead to missed opportunities for innovation, reduced productivity, and increased program risk. Multidisciplinary design and optimization for A&D provides a comprehensive design solution that integrates critical aspects of product development at the earliest stages, including mechanical, electrical and software design.
Watch Anthony Nicoli, Global Director Aerospace & Defense, Thierry Olbrechts, Director of Aerospace and Defense Industries Simcenter Solutions and John O'Connor, Director of Aerospace Product and Management at Siemens, discuss new aerospace design methods to increase collaboration and efficiency.
Watch this webinar and learn:
- The pitfalls of independent work among mechanical, electrical and software design teams and including visibility issues, communication gaps and slower decision-making.
- The benefits of multidisciplinary design and optimization and how to create a holistic approach that integrates critical elements of product development.
- How to use this approach to address challenges and foster collaboration and innovation among diverse design teams.
