Simulation Traceability: Holistic Visibility for Product R&D and Digital Manufacturing

Engineers face numerous challenges in transforming concepts into market-ready products, necessitating collaboration among specialized teams to ensure cost-effectiveness, safety, and customer satisfaction. The increasing complexity of products, driven by intricate mechanical designs, electronics integration, and software-hardware convergence, places pressure on companies to innovate rapidly. To manage this complexity, engineering teams are increasingly utilizing simulation and modeling tools, although traditional engineering methods often suffer from data fragmentation and disconnection. This fragmentation can hinder effective collaboration and decision-making, as siloed data and disconnected processes prevent comprehensive insights into product development. To address these issues, adopting a data-driven engineering approach is essential, promoting shared access to and context for data, thereby enhancing R&D efficiency and product quality. Model-based design collaboration further supports this transformation by providing a unified platform for data sharing, enabling rapid decision-making and improved collaboration across interdisciplinary teams. Rescale, a company specializing in simulation data management, offers solutions to manage metadata and facilitate traceability, empowering teams to make informed decisions more swiftly by breaking down data silos and offering a centralized source of truth for simulation activities.
