Digital Engineering: A Connected Ecosystem
Digital twin and digital thread technologies enable seamless data flow and enhance connectivity throughout the product life cycle. Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) now ensures even greater traceability and collaboration, while real-time monitoring and expanded hardware compatibility strengthens the connection between virtual simulations and physical systems. Centralized part and subsystem management improves scalability, simulation process data management enhances traceability with versioning and performance dashboards, and private material databases provide a single source of truth to guide sustainable material decisions with tools like carbon dioxide (CO₂) footprint analysis.
