The digitization process is on-going (slow) where sustainability demands digitization in order to deliver virtual twins (presentation in the context of 3DEXEPIENCE User conference)

1. Two trends that enforce themselves
SUSTAINABILITY DEMANDS VIRTUALIZATION
– AND IT SHOULD HAPPEN FAST

2. 2
Digitalization Sustainability
2 THEMES
2014 - 2020
Virtual Twin

3. A logical evolution ?

4. From Coordinated to Connected
Coordinated:
Providing the right information at the right time
in the right context
Connected:
Providing actual information for anyone connected
in any relevant context

5. Coordinated
Providing the right information at the right time in the
right context
Requires:
• An understanding/agreement what’s needed
Most of the time: Delivered in documents

6. Coordinated
Providing the right information at the right time in the
right context
Requires:
• Delivered in documents
• Activities that drive the delivery of the information
Most of the time: Predefined processes

7. Coordinated in the context of Dassault Systemes
Providing the right information at the right time in the
right context
• Delivered in Documents
• Predefined processes
• Using (BOM) structures
PLM as a System of Record

8. Connected
Providing actual information for anyone connected
in any relevant context
Requires:
• Data(sets) created by accountable persons
To be: Breaking silos – Think about consumers of data

9. Connected
Providing actual information for anyone connected
in any relevant context
Requires:
• Datasets and accountable people
• Other formats than documents / files
To be: Using Models & Datasets to share
Virtual
Twin

10. Connected – model-based
Connected Technology – the Digital Thread – three domains
Model-Based Systems Engineering
needed to define complex products /
systems where hardware & software
are involved.
Virtual product definition, simulation
and testing before committing to the
physical world
Model-Based Definition
Provide a digital continuity between
engineering and manufacturing by
using a shared parameter-driven
3D model
No more drawings – Product Managed
Information stored around a 3D Model
Virtual Twin
Managing a virtual definition
related to a physical product in
order to analyze performance,
predict maintenance and use
collected data to improve
products

11. Connected: BOM and Design: Unified Product Structure
Connected datasets

12. Connected: BOM and Design: Unified Product Structure
Connected datasets

13. Digital Transformation: new ways of working
This is the main challenge: different processes, different people, different data

18. The need for Virtual Twins
• DESIGN MBSE – make many trade-offs in the virtual world,
performing Life Cycle Analysis on materials used,
operations, maintenance & upgradeability.
• MANUFACTURING Virtual plant design allows the company to
design the optimal flexible plant with the minimum
of energy consumption.
• OPERATION Feeding a virtual model to analyze and optimize the
physical asset in operation (even if unreachable)
