Empower Engineering Change - New Proficiency for Interdisciplinary Change Management\
Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at 4:00 P.M. CET
We are undergoing a transformation from a focus on products to increasingly interdisciplinary and networked systems. These systems are built using a combination of mechanical design, E/E development and software engineering. The increasing level of interdependencies between engineering artifacts require new methods to manage engineering change. Against this background, the potential of integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Product Lifecycle Management will be highlighted in this webinar.
The amount of heterogeneous data from various development tools requires new approaches to engineering change management. With the help of MBSE models, the impact of a change can be analyzed across development disciplines. At the same time, a PLM backbone can manage formal changes via workflows that cross IT system boundaries. The interaction of the systems and a connection via EAN-CAD/Software-Integrated Development Environment (SW-IDE) will be highlighted in the webinar.
In this webinar, Aras Product Manager Leigh Young will be joined by Rik Rasor of Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Systems Design (IEM) and Robert Huxel, Director Business Development & Marketing, XPLM to show the benefits of interdisciplinary change management. They share best practices based on Fraunhofer IEM’s 10 years of experience.
This will be an English-speaking webinar.

Selection processes – why are they creating problems for customers?
This webinar speaks to the fact that companies get into trouble, simply because they have chosen the wrong system for their needs. This is a result of a broken selection process that has been designed – not to help the customer choose the right system for them – but to showcase a diligent process. And once the company finds out that they have chosen the wrong system, it is too late.
PLM selection processes today are often ineffective and should be redesigned. Not for our sake, but for the customers. Join Leon Lauritsen, Vice President Minerva Group, A/S, and Mark Reisig, Vice President of Product Marketing, Aras for an informative discussion.
Digital transformation initiatives are driving manufacturers to reconsider how PLM strategies can better support their digital backbone. This is driving PLM to the cloud and demanding more capabilities and agility than ever. How can a customized enterprise PLM system, which is integrated with many systems and tools, allow modifications to support digital transformation and product development without creating a dead-end customized solution? Is it time to force a hard decision between customization and the cloud? In this webcast industry experts discuss the challenges manufacturers face today and how low-code solutions impact the cloud versus custom equation.
Join James White, VP Digital Innovation Research, Tech-Clarity, and Mark Reisig, VP of Product Marketing, Aras Corporation, as they discuss how today’s manufacturers are leveraging cloud PLM to support their digital transformation initiatives.
The ever-expanding complexities of systems being designed, digital transformation initiatives, and innovations in manufacturing increase the demand for robust and intelligent simulation that is automated, consistent, repeatable, and traceable. The latest simulation use cases include MBSE (Model-based Systems Engineering), generative designs, digital thread, additive manufacturing, digital twins, and cross-domain behaviors of system-of-systems (e.g.: autonomous vehicles).
Efficient management of simulation data, processes, and results at every stage of product development lifecycle is vital to managing the ever-increasing systems complexities. While current simulation algorithms are growing ever more powerful there is a need to make them ever more pervasive across more teams in cross-disciplinary ways. The goal is to enable more simulation, reduce simulation bottle necks, enable digital verification, and react quicker to changes in product definitions.
