According to PTC, more could be done in product development, but construction data is still being created and only then passed on to the simulation department. This approach is outdated. Simulation must be integrated early and parallel to design in the development process.

Simulation is not an external tool for quality assurance but a part of the design process. This also allows better control of complex components.(Image: PTC)

Despite state-of-the-art tools and highly skilled teams, many development projects fall short of their potential. Simulation, which is actually a central element of digital product development, is often integrated late in the process. Design data is created, approved, and only then passed on to specialized simulation departments. The result: feedback often comes at a point when major adjustments are hardly feasible. Timelines falter, iterations increase. The high effort for subsequent corrections strains budgets and limits innovation capability.
