The “platformization” of PLM Peter Bilello, President, CIMdata The "platformization" of PLM is underway. It is the culmination of three irresistible trends: the evolution of personal productivity tools, the migration of discrete end-to-end lifecycle-management capabilities to the extended enterprise level, and greater cross-functional and extended enterprise collaboration. PLM platforms of the future will be the foundation upon which functional capabilities, data, and processes are enabled and executed—everything users need, when they need it, all in one place. The near-term goal is to enable the innovation essential to the creation of physical and digital products, systems (a combination of the physical and the digital), and services. This presentation will discuss this rapidly evolving trend and provide a look into the future of PLM enablement.

Additive Manufacturing & Conformal Cooling Lou Young, Jr., Director of New Business Development,Tooling & Manufacturing, Linear Mold & Engineering This presentation addresses the capabilities of 3D metal printing and conformal cooling that previously were not possible through conventional machining. By using additive manufacturing, design capabilities are endless. Linear has developed an expertise in the design and build of tooling inserts with conformal cooling channels that help reduce cycle times and drastically improve part quality. 3D metal printing technology excels in cases in which part designs have varying wall thicknesses, tight dimensional tolerances, and challenging mold geometry. This permits even cooling and prevents warp, sinks, and other quality problems. Straight water lines are required when using conventional methods; consequently, the intersection of two straight-drilled water lines creates a low-turbulence area where sediment may build up. This technology enables the design of complex water lines that eliminate these areas. “It’s a cool change.”

A Flexible Approach to PLM Rolf Hüsemann, Manager, Engineering Systems & PLM, GETRAG FORD Transmissions GETRAG's experience with PLM over time led to an interesting, non-traditional PLM implementation extending to multiple technical disciplines including mechanical, electronic, and software. A pragmatic approach to implement the PLM functionality was developed to support the dynamic environment GETRAG operates in. User and enterprise benefits have been delivered quickly with minimal process disruption. High user acceptance and flexibility of the solution have been achieved.

Model-Based Systems Engineering and PLM Dr. Nicholas (Nick) Bell, CIO, Global Product Development, Information Technology, General Motors The challenges in the automobile business are ever increasing with more stringent emissions and fuel economy targets combined with more and more conveniences for our customers. Accelerated development of these complex systems requires improved PLM and its virtual capabilities. PLM will accelerate product development when it enables well managed model-based systems engineering. GM needs our key suppliers in PLM, virtual engineering, and embedded systems development to integrate their solutions well. The systems engineers of the future need realistic, virtual models which can evolve as knowledge is acquired, thus providing the best decision making environment for robust products.

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.
