How to Enable Complex Simulations: The Power of Multiphysics & Digital Thread Seminar

A Perspective on the Adoption of Digital Engineering Within an Enterprise

Author: Matt Ladzinski - Ansys

Abstract

In the world of engineered systems, two extraordinary things are happening at once. First, the emergence of new technologies is accelerating, wildly expanding the possibilities of these systems. At the same time, these rapid advances are obsolescing traditional business models and best practices. In other words, so-called “disruptive technologies” are not just disrupting the marketplace, but also the practice of industry itself.

Perhaps the most dramatic shift in technology is the complexity — achieved through interconnectedness — of modern systems. In many obvious ways, these interconnections cross physical domains; for example, an automobile receiving GPS data from space to guide travel on the ground. But these interconnections also cross technological domains, such as lidar data from an automobile’s sensors that inform an autonomous braking system.

It is especially these interconnected qualities of modern, complex systems that are forcing organizations to reckon with painful — but promising — change. The speed at which markets and militaries demand new capabilities is not slowing down; if anything, that pace is accelerating, too. So, while complexity threatens to extend timelines and delay schedules, time waits for no one — and neither do competitors or adversaries. That’s why the fundamental need to stay ahead now requires a fundamental change in how engineered systems are designed, developed, tested, and maintained.

This presentation will examine perhaps the most important response that any organization can make in view of this new reality: the adoption of digital engineering.

To arrive at this clarifying picture of digital engineering, this presentation will briefly examine many underlying topics, such as the importance of having a holistic understanding of the digital engineering ecosystem, and why an open environment is crucial for organizations to adopt the latest advancements for sustained scalability, flexibility, and agility in their product development efforts.
