The Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform accelerates all aspects of developing complex systems by using the power of 3D to simulate and validate the behaviour of products in their embedded systems. The platform delivers an integrated, model-based systems engineering environment to imagine, engineer and experience high fidelity digital replicas of your designs that accurately predict the product or system's behaviour through the 3DEXPERIENCE; just like in real life. But why do we want to put the 3DEXPERIENCE at the heart of the system development process? Because in many industries, up to 80% of product innovations come from embedded systems, and these systems can account for between 20 and 40% of a product's development costs. And yet for more than 60% of the development time, no physical prototypes exist. And when they do exist, they're costly to produce and often incorrectly defined, and being utilized in a sub optimum way. Less than 10% of systems engineers typically get validation time with these prototypes, resulting in the late discovery of system errors. Errors that are often caused by systems architecture choices not being validated until late in the design process, causing system elements to then behave unexpectedly when they're integrated with other systems in the overall product. This complexity, when coupled with the ever-increasing requirement to comply with stringent regulatory and industry standards, can result in more than 40% of projects being delivered late or even failing altogether through poor management and traceability of system requirements. These problems are caused by engineers using a multitude of disconnected systems engineering tools that can create thousands of different models of the system being developed, with each tool having its own view or model of the system. But these individual models are largely disconnected from each other as they are authored and managed by different legacy and proprietary tools. This makes it difficult to build a complete and consistent system view that integrates multiple engineering disciplines, while increasing the complexity and cost of modeling and simulating the behaviour of systems in the context of a completed product. The business impact of these issues becomes increasingly serious. Programs are delayed, products are poorly integrated with suboptimal system designs, and engineering costs are inflated by unsynchronized and duplicated development effort. And it's getting worse. As product complexity and demands for variance increase, it becomes more difficult to master and optimize the development effort, often resulting in duplicated data. This data becomes difficult to manage across all the programs, options and variants. What's needed to address these challenges is an integrated model-based systems engineering environment that drives the creation and management of digital replicas of existing or future systems to accurately capture and predict their We create these experiences by using an open development environment that brings all engineering disciplines together to collaborate, define and share a common consistent systems definition; a definition we use to model and simulate the behaviour of systems in the context of a complete product and its environment. Dassault Systèmes addresses these challenges with a collaborative and open 3DEXPERIENCE platform for model-based systems engineering. This platform enables users to design and experience the products and systems through a continuous engineering development process. Let's explore what we mean by 3DEXPERIENCE in the context of systems engineering. We provide an end-to-end solution with digital continuity to design complex products and systems, starting from their planned usage, through to the design and implementation stages with the ability to optimize, verify, and validate these systems through virtual simulation at the conceptual design stage, reducing the need for physical prototypes. The closed loop digital continuity between design and validation improves engineering productivity and helps to deliver improved product quality. This 3DEXPERIENCE platform is an open environment that can be used in conjunction with your existing tools and adapted to suit your processes. It comprises a set of integrated applications including. Systems Architecture and Requirements to define and compose the system by considering multiple viewpoints through a set of integrated requirements and architectural models. Embedded Systems Architecture to define, manage, and implement complete embedded architectures with electronic and electrical components and their interfaces embedded software that includes AUTOSAR Builder, a rich tool set for developing AUTOSAR compliant embedded systems for the automotive and construction equipment industries and Control Build, a solution to accelerate the design, development and validation of control systems, enabling complete compliance to your industry and regulatory standards. Mechatronic Systems, behaviour modeling using open standards, Modelica and Functional Mock-up Interface where we can simulate the system definition to predict and validate the system behaviour in a replica of a real world environment. Electrical systems to define the wire harness and cable systems needed to provide the electrical interconnect between the different electrical components, system control units, sensors, and actuators within a product. Fluid systems to define the tubing, piping, and ducting systems required to provide the necessary hydraulic, pneumatic and fluid transfer capabilities needed by the product. And Mechanical Systems to define and simulate the realistic motion of a system by considering the influence of kinematic mechanisms and the underlying forces caused by mass and gravity. We manage the creation and lifecycle of all of these system assets through a rich, collaborative framework that supports the creation, sharing, and reuse of information. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform accelerates time to value by delivering powerful cross-discipline collaboration capabilities that span every stage of the system's definition, design, simulation, and validation processes. Through powerful services for social collaboration, dashboarding, visualization, and content management, the platform provides a scalable solution capable of supporting systems development from the smallest to the largest and most complex engineering projects. Program and lifecycle management, with configuration and change management of all assets and management of product lines, provides powerful tools to manage and document compliance with industry and regulatory standards. It integrates program and earn value management directly within the system's design environment, with task status collection and budget allocation and usage becoming a natural part of the design process itself. By collecting information passively throughout the design process, the 3DEXPERIENCE provides decision makers with real-time assessments and gives increased confidence in information. The platform provides full traceability of information relationships across all models with a unified change in configuration management process that enables early visibility of the impact of changes for all data consumers, including across the supply chain in the context of a configured systems definition. Designing systems in a configured context means that we design the master system and all of its variants simultaneously. We develop a single, standardized platform for all product lines, with functional and physical variants based on customer and market needs. By reducing the the number of explicit system definitions, we reduce the number of definition assets, the duplication and number of tests, and increase system asset reuse across multiple product options and programs. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform also helps you manage and demonstrate compliance with systems requirements and industry specific standards and regulations such as those demanded by the FAA, FDA, or International Standards Organizations. Using powerful dashboarding, traceability and analysis capabilities across more than 60 systems engineering tools, it's possible to assess the completeness of requirements coverage and the impact of system changes across all engineering data at both the project and the program levels. What sets the solution apart is the fact that all applications within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform share an open and extendable common data model and repository, to deliver a consistent view of information across all engineering disciplines and applications. The platform supports multiple open standards, including; the Codex of PLM Openness, an initiative to establish the openness of IT systems and the context of PLM between customers, tool vendors, and service providers. Modelica, a standard open and object-oriented language for modeling and simulating multi-domain physical systems. Functional Mock-up Interface, a tool independent standard to support both model exchange and co-simulation of dynamic systems AUTOSAR, an open and standardized automotive software architecture that enables the development and reuse of automotive software components. And finally, OSLC; open Service for Lifecycle Collaboration. A set of specifications that enables the integration of PLM, ALM, and IT software. The platform is built on an open and extendable common data model and repository that provides a single source of truth to ensure that all stakeholders always work with the same systems definition design and simulation It protects your existing investment in tools and processes through standards-based integration and by sharing information across common systems engineering In addition, it enables you to quickly and easily get real business intelligence from the huge volume of distributed and fragmented systems information through powerful big data monitoring federation and analytic capabilities and access to rich user definable dashboards.
