A reader had the following question for an industry expert from the Germany-based simulation services provider Siemens:
“How do you see the role of simulation evolving in regard to the trend of model-based systems development and engineering?”
Model-based design allows engineers to use established subsystems as building blocks for variations on a product – say, a new spin on an electric vehicle.
“What we see now, more and more, is this pressure to have more shared environments, to bring together component models from all over these systems into an interactive model — to bring it together in a systems model,” said Katrien Wyckaert, VP, Strategy and Innovation, at Siemens Digital Industries Software.
