Welcome to Digital Engineering After 21 years, Desktop Engineering is now Digital Engineering. We’re not changing our mission. We still exist to bring you the latest news and analysis of technology for optimal engineering design. So why the new look and new name?

Because just about everything else has changed since we launched our first issue in September of 1995. The technology used to achieve

optimal engineering design has evolved significantly over the past two decades. The informa-tion in our magazine, newsletters, websites, blogs, webcasts, videos and research reports has naturally evolved to follow it. We are now at a point where complexity and connectivity have made collaboration critical to product design and engineering. The desktop is still part of engi-neering, but it’s the digital thread—the flow of data back and forth throughout the design cycle and product lifecycle—that drives engineering technology today.

Engineering Complex and Connected SystemsThe convergence of mechanical and electronic engineering, coupled with embedded soft-ware, has blown product and system design complexity through the roof. It’s a disruption that many companies see as an opportunity to redefine what it means to be a manufac-turer. And, thanks to the growing popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT) in industrial and consumer products, design complexity shows no signs of slowing.

IoT-driven complexity begins by integrating sensors and communications into products—many of which have been strictly mechanical or unconnected in the past. But that’s just the start. The data coming back from all of those connected products can serve multiple purposes, such as showing how and when products are being used, how they can better work together, and how they’re likely to break. The IoT represents a potential gold mine in real-world use data. When collected, filtered and analyzed, it can help design engineers leap past the reliability of previous iterations and make systems that are even easier to use and maintain. That’s why we’ve been covering the IoT for years and will continue to in 2017 and beyond.

Collaboration is CriticalTo keep pace with the design of complex, connected systems requires engineers from dif-ferent disciplines to work together closely on design, simulation, prototyping and testing. It also requires real-time input from co-workers outside of the engineering department.

That type of collaboration requires a digital thread—a workflow that makes information available in a way that will be embraced by all involved. The thread needs to contain engineering information just as much as it needs information from other stakeholders con-nected to the product lifecycle. It ultimately needs to connect the people who design and engineer products to the people using those products, and vice versa. That’s not an easy goal to achieve. To get there, the digital engineering technologies used to create optimal designs need to be ubiquitous, so they need to be easier to use, affordable for large and small businesses, and plugged into the wider enterprise.

So that’s why we’re changing our name to match our coverage. We’re committed to lead-ing our audience to the technologies they can use to thrive in the midst of digital disrup-tion. You can call it convergence, democratization or the next Industrial Revolution. We call it Digital Engineering.

DE’s Mission

The design engineer is in the center of a never-ending cycle of improvement that relies on the integration of multiple technologies, multi-disciplinary engineering teams, and the collection and dissemination of design, simulation, test and market data. In addition to using the best available technology to optimize each stage of the cycle, a fully optimized workflow enhances communication and collaboration along a digital thread that connects the engineering team, colleagues in other departments, outside partners and ultimately consumers.

DE’s mission is to help design engineering teams discover, evaluate and specify the technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable optimal designs.

MAKING THE CASE for Connected Product Management 32 MAKING THE CASE for Connected Product Management

In anticipation, organizations are doubling down on the design of connected products, hoping to capitalize on new business models that will unleash additional revenue streams. By leveraging IoT data, connected products can create new business value, letting

companies branch out into areas like predictive maintenance services, for example, or ramping up sales by having insight into what products customers have and where they are in the lifecycle. In fact, research shows that the most successful early IoT adopters are pursuing a vision built around growth opportunities, not cost reduction.

Under pressure to get onboard with IoT, many engineering organizations have embraced a do-it-yourself (DIY) strategy, cobbling together disparate IoT capabilities and doing their own custom development. According to a Machina Research report on early IoT adoption, 81% of companies with IoT proj-ects underway have taken the lead role on projects, but their feedback shows that this design strategy falls apart as soon as the effort gains scale.

While engineers’ first response is to roll up their sleeves and dive into IoT development—much like they weathered through Excel-based data management or open source clus-ter deployments—this hands-on approach is far riskier in the complex world of IoT. IoT design requires new and complex domain expertise that may be lacking in-house, from sweep-ing connectivity skills to in-depth security knowledge and a

core competency with Big Data management and analytics. Among early adopters, chief concerns include the complexity of solution implementation (51%), security (50.2%), complex-ity of integration with existing systems and software (41.2%), among other factors, according to the Machina study. Even if a company has the necessary expertise, trying to cover all these bases in DIY mode limits growth and innovation while putting an organization’s critical IoT product roadmap at risk.

Imagine if your company decided today that it needed a product lifecycle management or customer relationship management platform. While it would be possible to build something from scratch, it wouldn’t make sense to invest the necessary time and resources when there are already power-ful and proven solutions available. It’s much the same with the IoT. New Connected Product Management (CPM) platforms, available as Software-as-a-Service, provide an end-to-end IoT solution that can help engineering organizations get started on IoT product design and simplify the process. Offerings like Xively’s Connected Product Application Suite pro-vide a real-time view of connected products in the field, including product details, trend data, prod-uct health, connectivity status, device location, firmware versions and events associated with the products. Dashboards let all the different decision makers visualize product management, develop-ment and services, which fosters better decision

IF NUMBERS TELL A STORY, the Internet of Things (IoT) is well past the hype stage and well on the way to transforming product development strategies and existing business models. According to Gartner, 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide this year, up 30% from 2015 and driving aggressively toward 20.8 billion by 2020. Just this year alone,

5.5 million new things will get connected every day.

Lead Nurturing — Drip CampaignsEffective Lead Generation Process

Single Sponsor eNewsletterGenerate Leads and Build Product Awareness

With our multi-touch email strategy, we identify valid potential customers who are ready to buy and should be contacted by your sales team.

How It Works:• The nurturing email series is triggered

when our subscriber completes the initial contact form from your white paper, Webcast or other lead generation program.

• Those leads are automatically added to a series of three email messages.

• Each email in the series of three is a custom message focusing on your offer with your branding.

• The emails are designed to engage prospects about your company’s products and services with offers to further measure their interest.

• Leads are scored on their progression through the campaign.• Emails are automatically deployed over time (days, weeks).

NET INVESTMENT: $3,500 added to selected lead generation program

Take your investment in lead generation programs to the next level by enhancing your program with a custom lead nurturing campaign. We offer the most effective method to reach the largest, most qualified design engineering audience to generate qualified leads for your products and services.

• DE works with the sponsor to develop the content, theme and design of the newsletter.

• The sponsor provides actual content or suggestions for the newsletter including case studies, new product announcements, user group news, white papers or other relevant information.

• DE will choose and edit the content items supplied for inclusion in the newsletter, and provide links to the full story on the sponsor’s website.

• Each newsletter is distributed as a special sponsored edition, with circulation determined by the sponsor’s demographic selections (up to 40,000 readers).

• Sponsors receive leads with contact information.

NET INVESTMENT: Pricing based on total demographic selections

Sponsored Reports

DE writers can produce a one- or two-page advertorial/sponsored report positioning your technologies’ capabilities and benefits. You own the content and could utilize it as trade show hand-outs, sales collateral and social media content.

ETA Sponsored Report ||| OPTIMIZATION

digitaleng.news /// October 2016 DE | Technology for Optimal Engineering Design 23

This is certainly accurate in describ-ing the product design and development space today. Processes have been changing rapidly since high performance cluster computers, model parameterization, multi-disciplinary optimization and new analysis tools have emerged.

Competing Design CriteriaBecause the design of mechanical struc-tures is driven by many competing cri-teria such as cost and weight reduction, contrasted by enhanced multi-disciplin-ary performance and manufacturability, new technology was required to solve these challenges.

Furthermore, the introduction of new manufacturing processes and materials, for example Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS), significantly increases the avail-able design space. A broader design space expands the set of all possible designs for mechanical systems, bringing the optimal design within reach.

Optimization Drives DesignTo explore the entire design space more effectively, while trying to reduce design cycle times, engineers at Engineering Technology Associates, Inc. (ETA) devel-oped an automated way to use optimiza-tion to drive the design process. They use a method that works as a virtual search en-gine resulting in hundreds of design possi-bilities that meet design criteria/constraints at varying degrees. Like plots on a diagram, the optimal design concept can be found

when the most ideal balance is met.Evolving over the last decade, the

methodology used is the Accelerated Concept to Product (ACP) Process®, a performance-driven, holistic product development method based on design optimization. The methodology combines design, material and manufacturing exper-tise with CAD, CAE and CAO tools. As a result, product development time, cost and product mass is reduced, while overall product performance is improved.

Using the ACP Process, the engineer can easily reveal the optimal balance of structure and strength and can greatly de-crease the time required to identify a set of feasible, or even optimal, designs prior to building and testing the first prototype. The methodology has proved that it could also compensate for the limitations of human intuition and provide design engineers with the freedom and power to seek creative solutions that are not obvious to even the most experienced design engineers.

Introducing ACP OpDesignLast year, ETA joined forces with BETA CAE Systems, an innovation leader in engineering software specializing in state of the art CAE Pre/Post-Processing soft-ware systems. The partnership set forth to combine ETA’s ACP Process with BETA CAE System’s powerful software platform, ANSA, into ACP OpDesign. The tool will be released in this last quarter of 2016.

ACP OpDesign provides two major

functions for product design and develop-ment. First, it acts as an Optimization Suite, which allows the engineer to per-form any type of design optimization. It offers an easy and effective gateway to commercial optimization and solvers. Second, led by design optimization, it pro-vides tools to design structural products, from concept to production.

CAE, design and manufacturing are all synchronized to find the optimal design solution. Using ACP OpDesign, various shape (geometry), gage, and material grade design variables are setup using ANSA’s morphing and optimization setup func-tionality. Post-Processing is done in au-tomated sessions, which track and report responses for the runs and optimization tools provide easy to use and simple to un-derstand optimization results.

The solution can be applied to a range of structural products in a variety of industries. ACP OpDesign is a gate-way to a variety of tools and promises to streamline the product design and de-velopment process, making a wide array of structural products lighter, cheaper, stronger and more efficient.

More information, as well as an oppor-tunity to sign-up to be among the first to try ACP OpDesign, can be found by visit-ing www.ACPOpDesign.com.

Technology Drives Innovation

A AS STEVE JOBS ONCE SAID, ”Innovation distin-guishes between a leader and a follower.” A profound per-

spective in this ever-changing world and likewise, technology continues to be the driver behind innovation.

ETA & BETA CAE Systems collaborate to balance competing design requirements.
