Global Product Development & the CAE Challenge

Dan Mekker, Manager, Gas Turbine Design Integrity, Siemens Energy

Understanding the demands of modern day global product development and realization from a design and simulation perspective, "The CAE challenge". Challenges include support for a global workforce and design anywhere philosophy; customer expectation for timely trusted innovative products; and advanced “model centric” engineered solutions. This presentation is a best belief guide, focusing on strategy and methodologies for lean product development (design, simulation, and manufacture) processes, advanced robust design methods, knowledge management, and transparency of information across end-to-end business processes. A gas turbine power generation machinery provider perspective will be shared.
