Today's automotive manufacturers face intensified competition from more technology-driven market players, rapidly changing consumer demands, and increased regulatory requirements. Staying ahead of the competition will require new engineering processes that enable a faster, more cost-effective, and more efficient innovation pace to deliver next-generation vehicles profitably.
In this webinar, discover how Siemens Accelerated Product Development solution enables:
- A flexible design approach
- Comprehensive integrated vehicle design automation
- Generative engineering
- Design collaboration across domains
Benefits of Siemens Accelerated Product Development Solution for better product concept development and design
The traditional engineering approach inhibits the development of high-quality complex products. Integration and cross-collaboration of development activities are crucial in providing the necessary sharing and collaboration of key design elements for next-generation vehicle safety, light-weighting, performance, and fuel economy. With Siemens Accelerated Product Development solutions, automakers can break down traditional silos to enable better product
concept development and product development.
Identify better designs early in automotive product concept development
All physics domains must be included in today’s vehicle development process, including electrical, electronic, mechanical, and software. It is insufficient to excel at mechanical development if the products do not work electronically, and vice versa. New integrated simulation technologies allow quick assessment of numerous design concepts based on available design parameters. Siemens Accelerated Product Development solution provides the tools needed to identify better designs early in the development cycle, resulting in more innovative products that offer a competitive advantage.
Speed up while reducing costs with automotive generative engineering
To reshape existing products and develop next-generation products, designers combine traditional technologies, such as feature modeling, with new technologies, like design optimization and convergent modeling. This revolution, known as generative engineering, changes design processes, simulation productivity, and additive manufacturing. Automotive companies can leverage the power of these new emerging manufacturing approaches with Siemens Accelerated Product Development solution to speed up while reducing costs.
