The Challenge:
The pressure to shorten time-to-market is driving companies to improve their ability to assess product performance and quality while improving development efficiency. Successful companies are increasingly looking to undertake product simulation earlier in the product lifecycle to arrive at a good design earlier and to minimize time spent in verification and testing. According to research firm AberdeenGroup, nearly all best-in-class manufacturers now use simulation in early phases of design compared to 3 out of 4 laggards. 

The Solution:
Teamcenter provides a single organized and secure source of simulation data and processes that can be embedded into the product lifecycle to better assess product performance and quality while improving development efficiency. By ensuring that simulation teams can more effectively coordinate their activities, simulation processes can be integrated and certified with the rest of the product development process.

Solution Capabilities

• Simulation data management
• Simulation change and process management
• Advanced simulation structure management
• Simulation visualization
• Product lifecycle integration
• Open application and system integration

 Business Results

• Extend CAE data without purchasing pricey CAE licenses
• Break down product development silos to improve productivity
• Improve decision-making for better products
• Identify inaccuracies and eliminate errors through the lifecycle
• Reduce prototypes by 50% for faster time-to-market and lower costs
• Hit revenue, cost, launch data and quality targets for 86% of products
• Single environment reduces systems customization and integration costs (historically 5x the price of a software license).
