Effective use of digital lifecycle simulation tools can enable project managers to reduce many downstream costs and risks. Often referred to as CAE (computer-aided engineering), digital lifecycle simulation can allow more concepts to be reviewed, which in turn reduces direct costs associated with expensive physical prototypes and enables faster, more informed decisions. The overall result is better performing products and higher margins. The key to maximizing the value of digital lifecycle simulation applications is to use them both as early as possible and then throughout the development process.
To enable the optimum level of digital lifecycle simulation within a product development environment, Siemens PLM Software offers a comprehensive suite of CAE solutions designed to meet the needs of users at various levels.
