Bruce Jenkins, Ora Research How to efficiently and effectively co-simulate whole-product functional systems models that include component subsystem models at differing levels of abstraction, or fidelity, has long vexed product engineering teams and simulation technology providers alike. Now, a powerful, elegant solution to this obstacle to faster, more efficient and effective model-based systems engineering (MBSE) […]

This third and final installment in this series focuses on a revolutionary new generation of fit-for-purpose, product-specific and often user-organization-specific simulation “apps.” By placing advanced simulation and analysis technologies “under the hood” from the user’s perspective, simulation apps are making unprecedented powers of automated design exploration, optimization, synthesis and validation accessible, usable and safe for […]

Two decades after software vendors’ first efforts to put simulation and analysis capabilities in the hands of non-analyst engineers and designers, a wealth of new technological avenues have opened up to finally make this a practical reality. By Bruce Jenkins, Ora Research In the December 2016 issue of Design World, Part 1 of this series […]
