In my presentation at the recent CIMdata NA Market & Industry Forum, I talked about why PLM has to extend to strategy and Front End Innovation (FEI) to become a platform for innovation. In this blog, I would like to talk about a key aspect of FEI: Ideation and Idea Management. When we experience an innovative product or service we love, often we can see the simple “Idea” behind it. This simple idea, however, is not obvious to many of us without the actual experience. These two elements, “simple but non-obvious” constitute the very definition of a “BIG” idea. At the creation stage, such an idea should address a real need and also be actionable, i.e., it should not need the next breakthrough in science to make it happen. Do you ever wonder how these ideas come about in the first place? Many believe and attribute BIG ideas to Eureka moments of “geniuses.”

Siemens launched a new product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services solution aimed at enhancing efficiency for the global Energy & Utilities industry.

In conjunction with the release of Solid Edge ST8, Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) business also launched a new Solid Edge App Marketplacesm mobile app. This one-stop shop for add-on solutions that extend the capabilities of Solid Edge will help customers further enhance product development productivity. “I was very pleased with the enhancements made to the synchronous technology interface in Solid Edge ST8,” said Ricardo Espinosa, R&D engineering manager, Kimball International. “These improvements will enable a rapid learning curve, which helps

Comsol Inc. has released Comsol Multiphysics software version 5.1, an integrated simulation environment for building multiphysics models and for creating and sharing simulation applications.  Engineers can switch between the software's Model Builder and Application Builder and make updates to both the model and app simultaneously. Both are saved in the unified .mph file format.  For implementing highly customized commands and operations, the software features simplified code generation, and template codes are provided.  Apps can be shared with nonexperts via Comsol Server. It can now operate on multiple computers, allowing computations to be run on a separate machine from where the app is launched.  The upgrade also introduces enhancements for add-on products. Ready-to-use parametric geometric components are now available to use with any module, and a library of dedicated parts have been created for the microfluidics, mixer, ray optics and structural mechanics modules. A new optical materials database has been added for the ray optics
