Presentation Topics Announced for CIMdata’s PLM Road Map for A&D Featuring 3D CIC

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - July 23, 2015 - PRLog -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm and Longview Advisors, Inc., organizer of 3D CIC announce the presentation topics for PLM Road Map for the Aerospace & Defense Industry featuring 3D CIC, to be held October 28-29 at The Westfields Marriott – Washington, Dulles.

PLM Road Map 2015 for the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) Industry featuring 3D CIC is the must-attend event for A&D industry executives and PLM practitioners globally—providing independent education and a collaborative networking environment where ideas, trends, experiences, and relationships critical to the A&D industry germinate and take root.

Day one of the event will focus on 3D Model-Based Design (MBD) for Product Definition, with emphasis on the following areas: advanced features, data retention, and compliance.

Presentations will be made on the following topics:

·      How digital aircraft type certification can be achieved and become a standard industry practice.

·      An OEMs perspective on the risks associated with achieving aircraft certification based on 3D MBD and how uniformity of practice can be achieved.

·      The scope and key requirements needed to support high-volume global collaboration with fully automated ITAR compliance.

·      Ways to preserve the benefits of 3D MDB through the use of advanced CAD features within the design team without increasing friction in the lifecycle process flows.

·      How simplified user interfaces can be used to complement complex PLM systems.

·      Future trends in standards for data storage and exchange.

·      The retention of design data in a high value state over a 20-year development cycle.

·      Alternatives for augmenting LOTAR to preserve the value of retained digital product definition for long-term design reuse.

·      Ways in which the PLM platforms of the future will become the foundation upon which functional capabilities, data, and processes are enabled and executed.

Day two of the event will focus on Enabling a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) with emphasis on the MBD/MBE vision, downstream integration, standards in MBD/MBE, quality, and inspection.

Presentations will be made on the following topics:

·      The MBD/MBE vision and downstream integration in a large organization.

·      Enabling system-of-systems PLM with digital thread support.

·      Blasting into space using model-based methods.

·      The new MBE capability index for DoD contractors and organizations.

·      The aircraft supply chain – do models really do the trick?

·      Real projects using STEP, product manufacturing information (PMI), and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).

·      Classic mistakes in MBD.

·      The evolution of MBE in the shipbuilding industry.

·      Quality Information Framework (QIF), the missing standard for quality and inspection.

·      Driving CAM and CMM using STEP AP 242 with PMI.

·      The future of MBE and advanced manufacturing.

·      What does MBD look like for organic navy manufacturing?
