How can design engineers get even more value from simulation? What is the most effective way to aid design engineers in their ability to create more competitive products?
Our new eBook, How to Survive and Win New Markets by Getting Even More Value from Simulation explores these questions. Today’s challenging economic times, worsened by COVID-19, mean companies will need to work even harder to win over customers with products that stand out in the global economy. Therefore, engineers must make the right decisions as they create increasingly complex products. However, Tech-Clarity’s research finds that unfortunately, 44% of manufacturers find these crucial decisions are becoming even harder. Many rely on personal experience and guesswork, but is there a better way?
Based on a survey of 272 manufacturers, this research study examines best practices that allow engineers to make more informed design decisions, while overcoming the limitations of traditional engineering infrastructure and the role that CAE tools can play.
Please enjoy the summary* below. For the full research, please visit our sponsor Dassault Systemes SOLIDWORKS (registration required).
Getting More Value from Simulation
While simulation offers many advantages, there are opportunities to get even more value. Often, it is the lack of knowledge that holds them back. This is likely why 83% of Top Performers say that if design engineers could collaborate more easily with a simulation expert, it would help them.
Better Collaboration
The majority of respondents, 54%, agreed that the best way to enable collaboration between analysts and design engineers is to send a link to collaborate on a model in real-time. A cloud platform is a way to allow this, which is probably a contributor to why Top Performing companies are 3.9 times more likely to use cloud software, including for simulation.
While better collaboration is a powerful benefit, the leading advantage of those using simulation in the cloud, reported by 71%, is the additional computing power and faster results. Top Performers would use this extra time to complete design work faster, innovate more, and conduct additional simulations. The research also finds that those using simulation in the cloud report more benefits than anticipated by those who don't use it. This indicates that once you start using simulation in the cloud, it will likely help you in ways that you may not expect.
Easy Access to Needed Data
Another way to support design engineers is to make sure they have access to the required data to support simulations. The research finds that Top Performing companies are 63% more likely than Others to agree that the cloud is the ideal way to manage the different data types needed for simulation. Incidentally, those using the cloud for simulation are more likely to manage material data, best practices, test data, past simulations, and real-world performance data. Respondents identified all of these as data types that should be managed.
An Integrated Platform
The cloud is also a way of supporting an integrated platform. Companies reported many benefits of an integrated platform. Interestingly, the more complex the product, the more likely respondents were to report more benefits. Easier collaboration between design engineers and analysts, better traceability, more flexible licensing, ease of sharing and controlling access to results, and access to multiple physics were among the most commonly reported benefits.
Empower design engineers to use simulation. Cloud simulation offers many advantages that can make that easier.

Have procurement organizations re-focused digital transformation investments due to COVID-19?
Yes. Priorities are radically different, as the research shows behind Roadmap - COVID-19 and Digital Transformation: Unique Research Into Investment Priorities. What has changed is that companies are more focused on creating abilities to work remotely, connect, see, and analyze what’s going on in supply. They are less likely to focus on backward-facing performance metrics since historical patterns no longer apply.
This article is based on primary research into what procurement projects companies have accelerated or postponed due to COVID-19. It is a detailed look at where companies are investing and not right now.
It also explores whether these changes are likely to remain in place. Tech-Clarity’s Julie Fraser is quoted on page 9, predicting this is a new normal. “Business processes, such as forecasting and inventory planning, which relied on data feeds from backwards-looking systems, are no longer quite as important. History is far less relevant now. Instead, it makes sound sense to invest in projects that provide a competitive edge, to help procurement organisations deal with this new normal.”
We are pleased to contribute to this fascinating look at COVID-19 and Digital Transformation in procurement. The research was sponsored by Amazon Business UK, and the article written by Malcolm Wheatley.

Machine monitoring and optimization drives success by fueling digital transformation. A recent, but separate, Tech-Clarity survey shows that more than one-half of manufacturers say digital transformation is “important” if not “critical” to achieving their business strategy. This is particularly true in these challenging times. As evidence, another study finds that the vast majority of companies have either increased their focus and/or accelerated their digital transformation efforts or at least maintained their current level of focus. Machine monitoring is much more than a tactical, operational initiative; it lays the structure for much broader digitalization.
How can manufacturers maximize value from their digital transformation efforts in 2021? In these uncertain times, it matters. There are some basics to leveraging Industry 4.0 trends. Success may be closer to your grasp than you realize.
This live webinar has passed, but please click here to watch it free, on-demand. Find out where trends are taking us and hear examples of how other manufacturers are already gaining benefits:
Tech-Clarity’s eBook, What’s the Cost of Poor Collaboration? examines this topic for product development, sharing survey results from 155 manufacturers. Collaboration impacts every part of product development, and products cannot be developed or brought to market without it. While collaboration can be abstract and hard to measure, it's impact can be significant, especially when it is poor. The research reveals how it impacts your product design and development processes. It also identifies six areas of opportunity for collaboration improvements that can boost product profitability for your company.
Please enjoy the summary* below. For the full research, please visit our sponsor, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS (registration required).
While poor collaboration is not a new problem, its cost has never been higher. Today's complex products and
the ecosystems we develop them in have raised collaboration needs so much, 40% of engineering time is now directly impacted by their ability to work together. With this much time affected, poor collaboration can cost companies significantly. While many companies struggle with steep competition, shrinking margins, and uncertain economic times, this is a risk few can afford.
Poor Collaboration has a Business Cost
Unfortunately, poor collaboration is so common, engineers report they work with outdated data 28% of the time. This results in more rework, delays, and errors. These negative business impacts mean lower-quality products, higher costs, missed deadlines, and delays in time to market.
In fact, what has traditionally worked in the past is no longer enough to stay competitive in today's market. An overwhelming 93% of companies report they need to improve collaboration with different groups. On average, engineers say they collaborate with 21 people on simple products and 35 for more complex products. Collaborators include other engineers, manufacturing, suppliers, customers, product managers, and more. On top of all the other design responsibilities, that's a lot of people to manage, work to keep track of, and risk for errors, without helpful solutions in place. No wonder the cost of poor collaboration is so high!
New Opportunities for Solutions
Many companies just live with their collaboration challenges, but as collaboration needs increase, these problems become harder and harder to ignore. As new technologies, such as the cloud and innovation platforms, break down silos and collaboration barriers, companies can benefit from new approaches to solve these challenges. Those who do should gain a competitive advantage.
What happens when automation and plant IT teams get past their differences and work together effectively?

How do companies make progress toward Industry 4.0? Based on our research, those who invest in people, processes, and technology for manufacturing data management have made more strides in Industry 4.0. Manufacturing Data Management: Lessons from Top Performers explores the many challenges of bringing together all the data production facilities need.
Please enjoy the summary* below. For the full research, please visit our sponsor Critical Manufacturing (registration required).
This research aims to learn about current challenges, strategies, and programs for manufacturing data management. Over 300 responded, from manufacturers in various industry segments and of all sizes, working with data from plants in every corner of the world. We uncovered a significant and nearly universal outstanding need: better ways to integrate IT and OT data. We also discovered that there are paths that appear to lead to greater success for those who travel them most aggressively.
Top Performers have made mindset, organization, and staffing changes. They are also far more likely to be using commercial software solutions and adopting modern approaches to accelerate their ability to manage manufacturing data effectively. As a result, a larger percentage of these Top Performers have already made dramatic improvements in business performance. They are in a position to make more gains.
Even for Top Performers, challenges remain. These include data and systems integration, putting IT and OT data into a common context, agreeing on "sources of truth," and identifying data owners.
Note also that this is early days for coherent manufacturing data management. Yes, several times as many of the Top Performers have a program, staff members, capabilities, or dramatic gains on KPIs. Yet they are still only a minority.
There is more to do for every manufacturer. Faster decisions have always made a difference. However, doing things as we've done them may no longer suffice.
Seek New Approaches to Manufacturing Data Management
So, beyond doing what has been possible, we also encourage companies to seek new approaches. Solution providers are advancing their offerings. Some have integrated more functionality into plant systems. New offerings are becoming available to support manufacturing data management now and in the near future.
Be ready to explore new approaches. Validate their fit and ability to help meet your manufacturing data management challenges. Leverage both new and existing technologies and approaches to progress toward your Industry 4.0 vision.
