The Importance of Being Unified - #2
From Design to Manufacturing
25 November 2025 | 2 p.m. CET | online
Analyzing current product development workflows often times shows a very distinct border between departments with specific responsibilities. Designers bring their ideas to life using computer aided design tools and export the data into a neutral format. A simulation task is issued to get a better understanding whether the design fits to the requirements or which of the proposed design ideas is preferrable. The task is queued on the virtual desk of the simulation engineer often times leading to a delay of several days up to weeks until a result is returned.
This consecutive, linear workflow drastically limits the amount of design iterations and contradicts the idea of an innovative design space exploration and the wish for faster turn-around times.
Based on the introduction of unified data model technology and fundamentals in part one of this simpulse webinar series, part two provides insights in workflows and use-cases. We display the seamless connectivity and traceability of data from design to manufacturing, including requirements and virtual validation and highlight the benefits of an integrated approach based on virtual twin technology.
