CIMdata Publishes Research on the Democratization of Simulation with Intelligent Templates

Research explains how intelligent templates can be a huge enabler for product development systems.

2012-03-01

ANN ARBOR, MI, March 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) CIMdata, the leading global product lifecycle management (PLM) consulting and research firm announces the publication of a new paper on the potential for "intelligent templates" to become a huge enabler for product development systems, allowing the delivery of higher quality products in much less time.

Intelligent templates present an innovative concept in product development that focuses on a reusable framework for managing product information and simulations of product performance. Simulation is made available to a wider audience of product developers, in a reliable way that does not require them to be experts in specific simulation applications. The templates define best-practice workflows that can be executed using information contained in the abstract model and its associated product and process data. Experts must create the templates, but non-experts can use them reliably.

The concept of intelligent templates is not simply an evolutionary improvement in the way most companies approach product design and simulation; it represents an entirely different paradigm. It is a systems engineering approach to model-driven design that both demands and fosters systems thinking and collaboration.

This paper is derived from a keynote presentation made by Malcolm Panthaki, VP Customer Success, CTO, and Founder of Comet Solutions, Inc. at CIMdata's PLM Road Map conference in the fall of 2011. It provides insight on how Comet's technology enables the effective implementation of intelligent templates.
