Revolutionizing Product Development

The Power of Simulation-Driven Design

Authored by Brian Thompson, Divisional VP and GM at PTC, and Mark Hindsbo, GM & VP of the Design Business Unit at Ansys.

In this white paper, Thompson and Hindsbo explore the transformative potential of simulation-driven design (SDD) in product development.

Traditional methods limit simulation to late-stage validation, increasing costs if flaws are found. SDD integrates simulation tools throughout the design lifecycle, allowing engineers to predict performance, mitigate risks, and drive innovation.

Key highlights include:

• Embedding simulation in CAD tools for seamless iteration and optimization
• The PTC and Ansys partnership enhancing real-time simulation capabilities
• Moving simulation earlier in the design process for improved performance and reduced costs.
• Real-world case studies from LIXIL and TEN TECH LLC illustrate the benefits of faster time-to-market and addressing design challenges efficiently.
