 PDF Key Takeaways Successful adoption of ADAS and AV requires trust—trust by the end users and trust in the knowledge and solutions used to design, develop, and validate the vehicles. Continuous verification and validation of compliance to regulatory requirements while engineering for performance improves the successful introduction of new ADAS features and AV products. Modern virtual engineering ecosystems utilizing scenarios learned from actual product usage enable continuous verification and validation as design changes are considered. Siemens Digital Industries Software solutions enable on demand, continuous verification and validation even as regulatory and customer requirements evolve over a product’s lifecycle. Introduction Continuous verification and validation (V&V) of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) is a critical narrative ensuring a product’s safety and performance throughout its useful life. Understanding how to satisfy changing requirements, whether consumer-driven or regulatory, is faster and easier when using computer-based design and powerful simulation ecosystems. A systematic approach to continuously test, assess,

 PDF Key Takeaways Increasingly, heavy equipment manufacturers must produce custom configurations, often in small quantities, while simultaneously managing increasing product complexity—leveraging closed loop smart manufacturing is required to compete and win in today’s complex heavy equipment industry. Smart manufacturing requires effective collaboration among product engineering, manufacturing planning, production, and service operations. A comprehensive smart, collaborative manufacturing environment is essential to analyze the impact of a product mix on production, allowing companies to optimize overall throughput. Siemens Xcelerator from Siemens Digital Industries Software, an open digital business platform to accelerate digital transformation and value creation has been tailored to deliver a smart manufacturing environment for heavy equipment industry competitors. Introduction Heavy Equipment manufacturers make highly configured products in low production volumes. Their margins are tight. Every opportunity to make savings is critical. Manufacturing efficiency can make a significant difference, with massive impact on profit. Additionally, trends like electrification, digital capabilities, and customers specializing in unique operations add complexity

 PDF Key Takeaways Increase in cyber-physical systems design complexity: The information revolution has led to multifunctional PCB assemblies with smaller footprints, escalating circuit, package, and system design complexity. Increasing IC speeds, data rates, and denser configurations compound power integrity (PI), signal integrity (SI), and electromagnetic related (EMI/EMC) issues. Multiphysics Simulation Challenges: Electromagnetic (EM) simulations, crucial for tackling design challenges, are resource-intensive and are often segmented into smaller portions of the overall design to perform analyses, adding risk to design cycles. The addition of connectors further compounds EM high-frequency effects, necessitating careful analysis. As such, traditionally, EM analysis is done during the final verification step, leading to costly respins and/or redesigns when discrepancies are discovered late in the design cycle. EDA Workflow Inefficiencies: Conventional workflows require interfacing across multiple software tools for performing design and simulations, each with different user interfaces and product design databases, increasing the risk of design errors. Traceability of design changes

 PDF Key Takeaways Autodesk University returned to Las Vegas for the first time since 2019, with over 12,000 attendees in person and many more connecting worldwide. Their industry-focused cloud offerings—Autodesk Fusion, Autodesk Forma, and Autodesk Flow—continue to evolve through organic development, partnership, and acquisition. Autodesk AI, a new branding for the company, highlights their past, present, and future with artificial intelligence. CIMdata had the pleasure of attending Autodesk University 2023 (AU) on November 12-16, 2023.[1] The city was abuzz with preparations for the first Formula 1 event run in Las Vegas just following AU and the meeting halls were too, with excited participants glad that AU was back in its long-time venue at The Venetian. Autodesk claimed in-person attendance of 12,000, with many more connecting virtually. (Since many sessions were recorded, the company is sure to get many more “eyes” on the content after the event.) At last year’s AU, Mr. Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk’s President and

 PDF Electronics industry solution provider consolidating solutions across “silicon-to-systems” and “systems-to-silicon” development On Tuesday, January 16, 2024, Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) announced its intention to acquire Ansys, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS). Ansys, Inc. is the undisputed market share leader in the multiphysics simulation and analysis (S&A) solutions segment. While Synopsys, Inc. is a leader in the EDA segment, the acquisition of Ansys will provide Synopsys with a significant advancement in its portfolio for EDA applications, especially in the simulation and analysis space. The companies in a joint press call estimated the total available market for the combined company to be $28B. This gives a lot of room for future growth of the combined entity from their current combined revenue of ~$8.3B. While an acquisition of this magnitude was not anticipated, it underlines the trend towards “smart” and “intelligent” features in products and IIoT services across a broad range of industry segments. This is creating
