The Framework Impacts and BenefitsProduct Design
– Reduce design process time by 80-90% relative to CAD/CAM/CAE approach
Process Simulation– Direct integration of process models and simulation to eliminate rework
Design Exploration– Enable exploration of design alternatives improving performance and reducing time
and cost
Standardization– Enforce existing engineering standards
Collaboration– Enable communication of product and process information across the enterprise
Reuse– Capitalize on domain knowledge as well as sharing such knowledge across the
various design teams and partnering organizations
