  • Back at the beginning of December, I published a post titled The Very Real Skillset Challenges of Simulation Drive Design. It identified four main areas of knowledge or skills needed to really make a simulation driven design initiative successful including. It also looked at some typical engineer roles and their ability to gain and keep these four types of skills or knowledge.

  • Siemens PLM's HD strategy provides stakeholders a way to visually access and navigate information in Teamcenter, Siemens's PLM offering. For stakeholders that are not heavy PLM users and tend to avoid textual navigation of the system, this new framework provides an easier and faster way to get to information yourself. However, to utilize these capabilities, you will need to familiarize yourself with the attributes used in the PLM system and be somewhat technically savvy.

  • These two key characteristics are important when you start thinking about how each of these artifacts are being <i>authored</i> as that will directly affect the availability of any information embedded in the files or data it creates. Furthermore, it's important to think about how each of these artifacts are being <i>managed</i> as that will directly affect the propagation of engineering and design change into other dependent artifacts.
