Virtual product development in the Digital Engineering Center: Greater innovative capacity through interdisciplinary organization and automation

While the traditional development cycle of "design-build-test" often lasted several years, today it is imperative to bring innovations to market readiness with simulation-driven design and digital twin in shorter time spans. Virtual tests on vehicles make a significant impact in effectively reducing development times and costs. Companies must master two fundamental challenges for their efficient use: on the one hand, complex and time-intensive engineering tasks have to be mastered quickly. On the other hand, solutions are increasingly required that organise the complex product development across organizational units. The Digital Engineering Center, an engineering workplace in the cloud, meets these challenges.
