TECH FOCUS:
SOFTWARE
on combining the ability to
design the product digitally while
also evaluating its performance
from multi-physics perspectives.
How does one shape a car to
minimize aerodynamic drag? Or
design the iPhone so that it will
not break when we drop it by
mistake? Or design its antenna so
that it can operate on 5G
network? The answers to these
questions require ability to
simulate different physical
phenomena, from fluid dynamics,
structures, to electromagnetics.
An excellent example of such tool
is Siemens' Xcelerator. It consists
of a comprehensive, integrated
software portfolio that enables
electronic and mechanical design,
system simulation,
manufacturing, operations,
lifecycle analytics, and more. It
manages product complexity
while helping the companies gain
competitive advantage. At its
core is a virtual twin that
seamlessly links virtual and real
worlds.
There are many inputs into the
product design requirements and
finding the optimal solution is a
serious challenge. Fulfilling only
the required functionality is not
enough. The requirements span
weight, size, durability, cost,

manufacturing, all the way to esthetics. They cannot be
fulfilled using physical prototypes, the cost and time for
something like this is prohibitive. On the other hand,
virtual twin approach enables efficient and affordable
digital exploration of the design space. One can decide
what are the relevant design parameters and then use
optimization tools to find the optimal solution. Such
design objectives can be tuned to individual
perspective on what is important and can be used to
fulfill certain brand image or achieve competitive
advantage. A good example for such tool is ESTECO
VOLTA Advisor, a web-based solution used to evaluate
different parameters of the design space and help
guide the design toward the optimal solution.
One of the main trends in the last few years is the
use of the computational capabilities on the cloud.
There are many significant advantages of doing this,
from eliminating hardware costs to leveraging third
parties for software maintenance. When done properly,
there is no need for local software installations. All the
work can be done from the web browser on any
platform - PC, MAC, tablet, even mobile phones are
possibilities. An example of a reliable cloud platform is
SimScale which enables fluid flow, heat transfer, and
