A Harbinger of Things to Come?

development process was fraying at the edges due to its emphasis on its global expansion. Mr. Watanabe noted in an interview at the time that in some cases company engineers may have rushed out products without conducting enough quality checks, such as building physical prototypes, and relying too

much on computer simulations. Toyota tapped the brakes

on that practice.”

choices and code compliance

Stakeholders Mostly engineering. Some manufacturing, quality managers, and regulatory personnel

All CAE stakeholders plus marketing, sales, all manufacturing, customers, even executives

Perceived benefits Design insights, reduces product lifecycle costs that have engineering implications. Create design knowledge without prototypes and physical testing. Improves product quality

Enhances all CAE benefits, exposes and tests more assumptions, communicates more effectively to a broader audience of product lifecycle stakeholders

Why Should We Care About Simulation?

• Vendors, particularly large PLM vendors are promoting the hype with the real benefits. Businesses should set the right expectations

• There are real benefits but the learning curve is long. It will be too hard to catch up when it matters competitively

• The enhanced realism will obfuscate missed or faulty critical assumptions, particularly when CAE is involved

• Businesses can introduce even more “waste” into product development than poorly-practiced CAE unless they exercise the right focus, strategy, and best practices

Evidence of Waste in CAE

“In a typical case, an engineer might be doing structural analysis of a vehicle subsystem. He would become absorbed in the details of computer modeling - analyzing the tradeoffs of the CAE modeling options he could use. The substantial time and money to do his computer-based study was essentially wasted. Worse yet, the initial results were wrong. He only needed to do a simple hand calculation to get the essential information to make a meaningful and reliable design decision.S.In 35 years, I saw quite

make a meaningful and reliable design decision.S.In 35 years, I saw quite a few of these.” - Retired Automotive Engineering Manager

“After investing millions of dollars over 5 years on this CAE program, our CEO asked me to report the tangible benefits this investment delivered. Our CAE team was incapable of making a compelling case to continue making such investments.”- Senior Executive, Defense Electronics Manufacturer

Lessons Learned

• C-level executives in most manufacturing industries are less educated about CAE than previously realized

• The CAE community is risk-averse and slow to change

• The CAE community, users and R&D professionals, need to learn more and think more “integratively” about product lifecycle demands

• The strategic importance of CAE in large enterprise-PLM vendors gets diminished due to overarching business demands

232/17/2010

• CAE technology advances succeed commercially when users perceive they will streamline existing processes and not require substantial change

• Manufacturers adopt advanced simulation technologies when the cost and time for physical testing is significantly higher than computing resources and expertise

• Manufacturers typically behave more tactically than strategically, making investments to address urgent situations
